1. Templul treptelor i al apei

Din orice unghi am privi-o, arhitectura indian are acea frumuse e extravagant dat de

aten ia acordat detaliilor. Detalii care se materializeaz n majoritatea construc iilor importante. Reprezentativ este desigur Taj Mahalul, dar aceea i pasiune pentru detalii se ntlne te i la cldiri cu scopuri utilitare. Unele din cele mai spectaculoase exemple sunt pu urile de ap n trepte pe care le gsim n vestul Indiei.

Spate adesea n stnc, aceste izvoare de ap ofereau locuitorilor o surs sigur i permanent de ap curat. ns ceea ce la nceput au fost ni te simple tran ee spate pentru acces u or au devenit adevrate pavilioane deschise publicului, oaze de rcoare care ofereau adpost mpotriva verilor toride.

Decorarea acestor pu uri a nceput cu precdere n perioada hindus i a fost continuat n timpul ocupa iilor musulmane. Atunci s-au rafinat i metodele de construc ie. Cnd un nou izvor era gsit, se spa nti o galerie vertical prin care apa era adus la suprafa i apoi erau construite tribunele din jur. Acestea sunt de fapt un labirint din sute i chiar mii de trepte spate n blocuri de piatr ce au fost ulterior aduse i a ezate lng izvor pentru un acces u or. n spatele acestora se gsesc o serie de galerii i camere ce au devenit de-a lungul timpului locul preferat de relaxare al indienilor n timpul verilor.

Tocmai datorit popularit ii, fntnile n trepte (cunoscute i sub numele de bawdi sau baoli) au devenit n acela i timp i locuri de ntlnire. Femeile chiar aduceau aici ofrande diverselor zeit i hinduse pentru ca apa din fntni s nu sece. Acesta a constituit i motivul din spatele basoreliefurilor de pe scri care prezint figurile zeilor hindu sau diverse scene din viatacotidian.

Numai c nimic nu este cotidian cnd vorbim de aceste fntni n trepte. Cea mai bine pstratpn azi este Chand Baori, un imens pavilion care a devenit un templu al apei.

The Temple of Steps and Water

From any angle we look at it, Indian architecture has the extravagant beauty given by theattention to details. Details which materialize in the most important buildings. Representative isof course Taj Mahal, but the same passion for details occurs to buildings with practical

purposes. Some of the most spectacular examples are the water wells in steps which can befound in Western India.

Often carved into the rock, these water springs used to offer to residents a safe and permanentsource of clean water. But what at first were some simple trenches dug for easy access have

become real pavilions open to the public, cool oases which offer shelter against the scorchingsummers.

The decoration of these wells began mainly in Hindi period and was continued during theMuslim occupations . Then there were refined the methods of construction. When a new springwas found, first there was dug a vertical gallery through which the water was brought to thesurface and then the stands were built. They are basically a maze of hundreds and eventhousands of steps carved into the stone blocks which later were brought and placed near the

spring for easy access. Behind them there is a series of galleries and rooms that have become thefavorite place of rest of the Indians during the summers.

Just because of popularity, stepped wells (also known as the bawdi or baoli) became at thesame time meeting places too. Women even brought offerings to the various Hindu deities sothat the water in the fountains do not dry. This was the reason behind bas-reliefs on the stairsshowing figures of hindu gods and various scenes of daily life. But nothing is ordinary when wespeak about these wells in steps. The most well preserved until today is Chand Baori, a hugepavilion that has become a temple of the water.
