MASARH |
|
The only door
leads to the main shrine which opens into Small mandap 8'X4', and on the same mandap on
right side there is a Nandi and a small Shiva lingam. A number of images of other deities
Ganesha, Saraswati and Vishnu, all very old, have also been preserved on the mandap. There
are a number of other broken images of various deities. Two broken figures beautifully
carved with images of Buddhist and Brahminical deities are lying uncared for. Largely
attended melas are held on Chaitra, Navami and Vijaya Dashmi at the Devi temple. A visit
to Masarh gives the impression that time has stood still here and the relies liberally
scattered about amply suggest the glorious days Masarh has had. It is a landmark now
housing a Jain image of Lord Parasnath and a Shiva lingam on the same site. |
