नागर मंदिर में, दीवार के मुख का उभरा हुआ केंद्रीय भाग कौन-सा तत्व है?
Detailed Solution & Logic
Bhadra/ भद्र
Explanation
- Bhadra (भद्र) is the central projecting offset of the wall face in Nagara temple architecture.
→ यह नागर मंदिर शैली में दीवार के मुख का केंद्रीय उभरा हुआ भाग होता है। - In a typical Nagara architecture, the wall is divided into vertical projections (offsets).
→ नागर शैली में दीवार को कई उभरे हुए भागों (offsets) में बाँटा जाता है। - The central projection is called Bhadra, and it is usually the most prominent and decorated part.
→ भद्र सबसे प्रमुख और सजावटी भाग होता है। - Other parts:
- Karna Sringa (कर्ण श्रृंग) – corner projection / कोने का उभरा भाग
- Pratiratha (प्रतिरथ) – intermediate projection / बीच का उभरा भाग
- Anuratha (अनुरथ) – side projection / भद्र के पास के सहायक भाग
Extra Facts
- Bhadra often contains the main deity’s sanctum entrance or important carvings.
→ भद्र भाग में अक्सर मुख्य देवता का प्रवेश द्वार या प्रमुख मूर्तियां होती हैं। - It helps create a rich vertical rhythm and symmetry in temple design.
→ यह मंदिर की संरचना में सुंदर समरूपता और लय (rhythm) प्रदान करता है। - Nagara temples are mainly found in North India.
→ नागर शैली के मंदिर मुख्यतः उत्तर भारत में पाए जाते हैं।
Final Answer: Bhadra (भद्र)
