Khajuraho Temple, located in Madhya Pradesh, India, is famous for its intricate and explicit sculptures depicting various aspects of life, including those of deities, humans, and animals. While the temple complex was initially dedicated to Hindu deities, such as Shiva, Vishnu, and Devi, it is believed that the temples lost their religious significance and were abandoned by the 13th century. There are a few reasons why regular puja (worship) is not performed at Khajuraho Temple today: Historical Abandonment: After the decline of the Chandela dynasty, which patronized the construction of the temples, Khajuraho Temple complex fell into neglect and was abandoned. Without a regular community of priests and devotees, the tradition of daily worship did not continue. Changed Religious Practices: Over time, the religious practices and beliefs of people in the region may have shifted. The temple complex at Khajuraho is now primarily seen as a historical and architectural site, attracting tourists and scholars rather than serving as an active place of worship. Preservation and Conservation: The sculptures and architecture at Khajuraho Temple are considered significant cultural and historical treasures. The Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) and other authorities responsible for its maintenance focus on preserving and conserving the site. Regular worship rituals could lead to wear and tear or damage to the delicate structures and intricate carvings. While regular puja is not performed at Khajuraho Temple, occasional ceremonies, festivals, and cultural events may take place where devotees and priests come together to perform specific rituals and pay respects to the deities. These events are more symbolic in nature and aim to celebrate the cultural heritage associated with the temple complex.
Never read medieval history with so much enthusiasm...the session was awesome and it really do created an interest in this part also. Very nice storyteller sir..really enjoyed the session. Thank you so much sir
38:10 Sir i think it should be due to the fact during islamic rule idols were taken away & hindus worship idols So places without idols cant be used as worship places
Sir Turks invasion jab hua us samay 9th century me without any industrialisation and mining into the world GOLD kaha se aya India me.... Isse extract kaise Kiya jata tha without even minings? Please reply
Gold reached India during the advent of the Turks through a variety of non-industrialized means, primarily based on trade, conquest, and natural resources. Here's how: 1. Trade Silk Road Trade: India was a key point in the trade networks connecting the Middle East, Central Asia, and China. Gold was a common medium of exchange and reached India through merchants and caravans trading spices, textiles, and gemstones. Maritime Trade: India had extensive maritime trade with the Middle East, Africa, and Southeast Asia. Gold came from East Africa (especially from the ancient gold mines in Zimbabwe) and Arabia in exchange for Indian goods. 2. Tributes and Gifts Turkish rulers, like Mahmud of Ghazni and Muhammad Ghori, often demanded tributes in the form of gold from Indian kingdoms they invaded. Conquerors and emissaries also brought gold as gifts to rulers to establish alliances or as spoils of war. 3. Plunder During the Turkish invasions of India, temples and palaces were often plundered for their wealth. For example, Mahmud of Ghazni’s raids on temples such as Somnath were aimed at acquiring gold and other treasures. Indian temples, especially in South India, were repositories of vast amounts of gold due to the donations made by kings and devotees. 4. Natural Gold Deposits India has its own natural gold reserves, particularly in the Kolar Gold Fields and Hutti Gold Mines in present-day Karnataka. These mines have been exploited for gold since ancient times. Local extraction of gold was already an established practice long before the Turks arrived. 5. Central Asian and Persian Connections The Turks were part of the Central Asian and Persian regions where gold circulation was common. They carried gold as they moved into India, using it for trade, conquests, and administration. While there was no industrialized extraction or processing of gold, these pre-modern systems were effective in circulating gold within the Indian subcontinent.
Pre-modern technologies for gold extraction, refining, and usage were quite advanced for their time and varied across regions. In India and neighboring civilizations, the methods involved manual labor and ingenious techniques that allowed people to extract gold from natural sources like rivers and mines. Here are some of the prominent pre-modern technologies: --- 1. Panning for Gold River Gold Extraction: Gold dust and nuggets were collected from riverbeds using a method called panning. Miners used shallow pans to swirl water and sediment, allowing heavier gold particles to settle at the bottom. This method was common in regions with alluvial gold deposits, such as riverbanks in Karnataka and the Himalayan foothills. --- 2. Placer Mining Gold-bearing sediments were extracted from streambeds using simple tools like wooden sluices or wicker baskets. Sluices had ridges to trap gold while lighter materials were washed away. --- 3. Hard Rock Mining In regions like the Kolar Gold Fields (Karnataka), miners dug tunnels into gold-bearing rock. Tools like chisels, hammers, and fire were used to break apart rock to reach gold veins. They used a technique called fire-setting, where fire was used to heat rock, making it brittle and easier to fracture. --- 4. Mercury Amalgamation Goldsmiths and miners in ancient India were aware of using mercury to extract gold. Gold particles were mixed with mercury to form an amalgam, which was then heated to evaporate the mercury, leaving behind purified gold. --- 5. Cupellation This technique was used to refine gold and separate it from impurities like lead or other metals. The ore was heated on a porous, bone-ash dish (called a cupel) that absorbed non-gold elements, leaving pure gold behind. --- 6. Goldsmithing Tools Indian goldsmiths had sophisticated techniques for refining and shaping gold. They used: Crucibles: Ceramic or clay containers for melting gold. Bellows: Leather devices to increase fire intensity for smelting. Hammering and Beating: Gold was flattened into thin sheets or made into intricate jewelry. Granulation: Creating tiny gold beads for decoration by heating gold fragments. --- 7. Open-Pit Mining In areas with surface-level gold deposits, open-pit mining was employed. Workers manually dug out gold-rich soil and rocks. This technique was labor-intensive but efficient for shallow deposits. --- 8. Ancient Smelting Smelting was used to extract gold from ore. The ore was crushed and heated in clay furnaces with charcoal to extract metal. Furnaces were simple but effective, made of bricks or stone lined with clay. --- 9. Sieve-Based Prospecting Sifting through river sand with sieves to collect fine particles of gold was common. This was combined with washing techniques to isolate heavier gold particles. --- 10. Traditional Minting Once refined, gold was melted and poured into molds to make coins, bars, or jewelry. Indian goldsmiths excelled in crafting ornate coins and intricate designs. --- Significance in India These technologies reflect the ingenuity of ancient and medieval Indian society. Gold extraction and refinement supported India's rich tradition of jewelry-making, temple donations, and trade, making it one of the wealthiest regions before industrialization.

Aap galat bol rahe hai gori ne mandir is liye nahi tode ki paise the mandir me balki isliye tode kyoki islam usse aissa karne ke liye kehta hai islam mai murti todnevale ko mahan banaya jata hai Hope u will correct u r perspective
NOT MATASHYA NYAY...... Its MATSHYA NYAAY.... that means how FISH dominate. How big fish eats small fish to survive. So called survival of the fittest. Halaki the actual definition of survival of the fittest is different than matsya nyay.
I felt I wasted time attending to this lecture. Prateek Nayak sir's marathon sessions are way more easier and feel relevant. He is mostly reading PPT and only loaded with facts. Prateek sir's story telling skill helps learn history in a conceptual way.
