English: Paramasaayika mandala is the second most common Hindu temple format, set on a 9 x 9 grid. These were built as ceremonial temples - by kings and regional communities. They are typically very large.
The blue squares are Brahma pada where the main and/or largest idol of the temple resides.The deep saffron square in the center symbolically represents Universal One (or Space/Eternity/Universal Principle/Purusa) in Hindu tradition, understanding which is considered the ultimately goal of all Hindu spiritual activity. In some designs and texts all 9 central squares are considered as Brahma padas. The white squares surrounding the Brahma pada are Devika (Devaika) padas - the zone where gods (devas) reside. The light green squares at the outermost periphery are Paisachikas padas - the zone of demons, fears, suffering. On the east edge of the temple are always present Surya (Sun) and Indra, who rythmically bring light and hope everyday. The light saffron squares forming the third outer encirclement are Manusha padas - the zone where human beings live, walk and symbolically make choice between good and evil, Devas (gods) and Paisachikas (demons), as they walk towards the central core for a darsana (darshan, vision). In Hindu temple architecture, the designs range from simple 1 pada (used for yoga, meditation with self as temple) to 1024 pada or 32x32 grid superstructure temples. Further description about Paramasayika mandala: Stella Kramirsch, The Hindu Temple (2 Volumes) (Pt. 1 & 2), ISBN 978-8120802223বাংলা: ৯X৯ (৮১) গ্রিড-বিশিষ্ট ‘পরম সায়িক’ নকশা দেখা যায় বৃহদাকার প্রথাগত হিন্দু মন্দিরগুলিতে। হিন্দু মন্দির নির্মাণে যে বিভিন্ন প্রকার গ্রিড ব্যবহৃত হয়, এটি তার মধ্যে অন্যতম। এই ধরনের মন্দির হল সামঞ্জস্যপূর্ণ আকৃতির মন্দির। এখানে প্রত্যেকটি সমকেন্দ্রিক নকশার বিশেষ গুরুত্ব আছে। ‘পৈশাচিক পাদ’ নামে পরিচিত বাহ্যিক নকশাটি অসুর বা অশুভের প্রতীক। অন্যদিকে ভিতরের ‘দৈবিক পাদ’ নকশাটি দেবতা বা শুভের প্রতীক। শুভ ও অশুভের মধ্যে এককেন্দ্রিক ‘মানুষ পাদ’ মানবজীবনের প্রতীক। প্রতিটি নকশা ‘ব্রহ্মপাদ’কে ঘিরে থাকে। ব্রহ্মপাদ সৃষ্টিশক্তির প্রতীক। এখানেই মন্দিরের প্রধান দেবতার মূর্তি থাকে। ব্রহ্মপাদের একেবারে কেন্দ্রস্থলটি হল ‘গর্ভগৃহ’। এটি সবকিছু ও সবার মধ্যে অবস্থিত ব্রহ্মের প্রতীক। |
