Teli Ka Mandir or oilman's temple, Gwalior Fort. Photographer: Unknown
- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: Architectural Photography
Letterpress description reads: 'The temple known as Telika Mandir is the loftiest of all the existing buildings on the Gwalior Fort, being over 100 feet in height. It is a 9th century Vishnu temple peculiar in plan and design. The form of its Sikhara or spire is Dravidian, common in Southern India, while all the decorative details are Indo-Aryan, characteristic of Northern India. It is thus an interesting example of Temple Architecture where both the Dravidian and Indo-Aryan styles meet. The Dravidian element in the design of this temple, supplies clues to the right explanation of its name. The original name seems to have been Telangana Mandir, so called from the Dravidian form of its spire, Telangana meaning Telegu country. Teli-ka Mandir is a subsequent corruption of Telangana Mandir'.
