Journal Title: International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Invention - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 1
Abstract
Avantivarman selected a commanding site of Avantipura on the right bank of Vitasta and under the foot of one of the spurs of the mountain Wasterwun. It is situated at a distance of 18 miles South-East of Srinagar and still retains its old name. He along with his officials and relatives built numerous shrines but at his capital city his two temples, one dedicated to lord ‘Vishnu’ called Avantisawmin and the other to lord ‘Shiva’ called Avantisiwara are the out-standing works of art and show a considerable advance in sculptureddecoration. However with the growing Vishnava and Shaiva faiths in this period and in the periods that followed, Buddhism in particular remaind overshadowed, though its popularity as a religion, of-course on a minor scale lingered till the advance of Muslims. Both the temples follow the same plan and lay out as observed at Martanda temple though they are smaller in size. The larger one is that of Avantisiwara out-side the village of Jaubror, half a mile the town of Avantipura. In size and dimensions it was second to that at Martanda.
