812. Inscription referring to the shrine of Gokarna Deva

Description:: The Bisaldeo Temple is referred to as the shrine of Gokarna Deva in its inscriptions. An inscription on a left-hand pillar in the vestibule of the temple, dated 1187 CE (1244 VS), during the reign of Prithviraj Chauhan, refers to the hall of this temple as Shri Gokarna mandapa. Carlleyle had highlighted two more short inscriptions from 1174 CE and 1187 CE (1231 VS and 1244 VS, respectively) on the same pillar and on the left side of the entrance of the temple, which also refers to Shri Gokarna.

813. Layout of Gokarneshwara Mahadeva Temple

Description:: The layout of Gokarneshwara Mahadeva shrine as drawn by A.C.L. Carlleyle, and he described the shrine as ‘…a cave temple, or rather a cave, in which temples or shrines have been built, within a two-storied screen or facing of masonry in the face of the rock, in the side of the mountain at the entrance to the pass, immediately opposite to the town of Visalpur… But apart from the bases of some of the pillars (which appear to be older than the rest), the whole of the structures in the cave appear to be modern…’ Image courtesy: Report of a Tour in Eastern Rajputana in 1871-72 and 1872-73, by A.C.L. Carlleyle

814. Lakulīsha/ Urdhvareta-Shiva

Description:: This Shaiva figure was possibly part of a devakostha or sculptural niche placed on the walls of a now-lost Shaiva shrine. It is now housed in the Government Museum, Sikar. The four-armed seated figure holds a trident and a staff in the upper two hands, while the lower two hands are considerably damaged. The figure is ithyphallic, symbolizing the Urdhvareta aspect of Shiva, indicating mastery over the vital energies through ascetic vigour. It is plausible that this image represents Lakulisha, the preceptor of the Pashupata tradition. Image courtesy: The Government Museum, Sikar

819. Ascetic figure with a long beard on the pillar

Description:: The ascetic is shown on one of the pillars with a long beard and what seems like a jata. A kamandala is tied to one of his shoulders through a rope. He wears nothing but a kopina/loin cloth and the sacred thread janeyu, shown quite prominently. Janeyu reminds us that the lineage of ascetics in the Pashupata sect has been predominantly Brahmins, right from the time of Lakulisha and his four disciples and even Lakulisha has been elsewhere depicted in this temple with a prominent janeyu. The bare minimum clothing and kamandalu are signifiers of his asceticism.

820. A royal figure in tribhanga pose on the pillar

Description:: A royal figure who is heavily jeweled in the tribhanga pose with damaged hands. Whether this is a representation of the patron, King Vigraharaja IV, is a matter of pure speculation.
