Kakanmath Shiva temple,Dist. Muraina
Many of the monuments are in the interior of villages in MP. These monuments must be approachable for a common man at its glorious time. Presently I am quoting Vankhandeshwar in Dhanshula, Tarainy and 10 Km. in its south of it (crossing the river Kwari) KAKAN MATH of 11th century AD in the District of Muraina,Village Sihonia ( in 11th Century it was the capital of Kushwaha kings), MP which I visited on 13th July 2013.
Luckily, Late Prof. Ram Singh Tomar born in Dhanshula and on account of his emotional touch and for the betterment of the children of the surroundings of his village he established a Vidyapeeth at Vankhandeshwar and reconstructed Vankhandeshwar Temple of 11th century as well as developed forest in its surroundings. However, no such volunteer emerged for the nearby temple of Shiva the Kakan Math. This monument is surrounded by agricultural land. However the Kakan Math is under the supervision of the Archaeological Survey of India, Gwalior Region, .
On observing the Kakan Math and its broken statues, the heart breaks of any art lover. How much rotten religious learning and mentally sic was Aurangjeb the Mughal emperor? Is it not against the humanity to kill the belief of other religion by force? Anyway it is History and we may take lesson from History to take right decision always to keep its result in our mind. Whatever Auranjeb has done we cannot roll back, however we can protect it up to maximum possible extent. But I became very disappointed to observe the Kakan Math and ruins of its surroundings. This monument needs a special care as it is in delicate stage. The repairing work is stagnant and incomplete. Its surroundings need decoration by the Horticulture wing of the Dept. of Archeology. There is no facility of Public Transport to reach these monuments. However this is a common problem in MP state. The Department of Road Transport was buried long back in this State. The Departments of Archeology and Tourism may study jointly and find out some solution for the tourists.
Kakanmath Shiva temple
As usual no board has been put by the Department of Archeology, describing the history of this ancient heritage. In the name of care taker an old handicapped man was in the temple. If this huge campus is decorated by horticulture and tries to give its original glory, it is one the most attractive sight for the tourists as well as the religious people. A token ticket should also be imposed on such monuments so that some amount for maintenance could be obtained. ....
