Chausath Yogini Temple in Morena
The design of the Indian Parliament and its connection with "Chousatj Yogini Temple in Morena...
These pictures are of Chausath Yogini Temple in Morena (Madhya Pradesh). In the early 1900s, Edwin Lutyens visited this temple, and he used the design of this temple for the Parliament of India. Unfortunately, neither he nor any of our subsequent historians/intellectuals even cared to mention "Chausath Yogini Temple". It was spread for decades with impunity that the Indian Parliament is a masterpiece of Lutyens.
They knew that if they glorified the "Temple" and our advancement in architecture & construction, Indians may develop a sense of self-pride, something which probably Nehru and his bunch of historians resisted at any cost. Hence, no mention of this temple was ever officially made.
Look at the structure. Look at the pillars. Look at the inner and outer facade. Our parliament is a mere copy of this temple. This temple was built around 1050 AD, Almost 900 years before our Parliament. So next time, don't praise Lutyens. Praise our ancestors who had designed and constructed these wonders centuries ago.
