Grandeur of Bundeli Heritage: A Study of Medieval Temples of Panna is a treatise on the temples of Panna, an erstwhile princely state of Bundelkhand of Central India. Panna, a sleepy village of Madhya Pradesh had been the rich flourishing capital of Bundelas in late medieval period. The Bundela kings made a series of magnificent Vaishnavite temples, earning the title of Laghu Vrindavana for their capital. Panna was also the seat of a great Sage Mahamati Prannath. The followers of the Sage are known as Dhamis. Thus, Panna also became the Kashi and Kaba of Dhamis or Pranamis. Panna also has a number of Pranami temples. The book is the first ever attempt to bring the grandeur and glory of majestic Panna temples. These temples are not classical in their plan, hence they did not draw due attention of the archaeologists and art lovers. Another reason for the slumber may be their location as they lie on the ‘Shadow Zone’ of Khajuraho, the ancient temple complex of World Heritage. The author, who is an explorer - geographer has documented the architectural details, historical significance and captivating beauty of all the temples of Panna. This project was supported by Indian National Trust for Arts and Cultural Heritage. About the Author: Dr. Shivkumar Tiwari (b. 1941), Advisor, INTACH, Jabalpur Chapter is Retd.
