Dashavatara Temple, Deogarh, Uttar Pradesh, India
Gargi Manishwrote : "Dashavatara "
“When complete, this building was unquestionably one of rare merit in the correct ordering of its parts, all alike serving the purpose of practical utility, yet imbued with supreme artistic feeling. Few monuments can show such a high level of workmanship, combined with a ripeness and rich refinement in its sculptural effect as the Gupta temple at Deogarh.” writes Percy Brown
One of the earliest Hindu temples that is still surviving today, Dashavatara Temple in Deogarh is dedicated to Lord Vishnu and is built in the late Gupta period. This 1500-year-old temple is built with Gupta style of architecture, a style that was used as a method for decoration during the time and a style that can be seen all around India. Dashavatara means “ten incarnations”, which symbolizes the ten avatars of Lord Vishnu.
