Abbey Church of Saint-Savin-sur-Gartempe heritage site of Unesco owes its history to Emperor Charlemagne; historians are not sure that St Benoit d’Aniane founded this Abbey but named him as father of western monasticism. Some of the pictorial representations in this Church do not show typical Christianity;  meaning of ‘clocher-porche’ which scholars translate as ‘Bell Tower’ needs further debate in the academic circle. ‘clocher’ means ‘kechar’ means ‘sky’; it may mean a ‘bird’ and may have reference to Krounch, name of a ‘bird’ means a ‘pakshi’; and ‘poche’ may mean : paksha’( means ‘wing’)/or ‘pakshi’(means ‘bird’)/or ‘baksha’(means ‘chest’).or ‘pakka’ (means ‘building’).. So ‘clocher-porche’ means ‘a high rising building’ but nor ‘Bell Tower’. This meaning shows that the monuments collectively are indicative of the region from where ancient migration happened and from where this ‘word’ originated or related to.

As the tympanum at the doorway opening describes the Apocalypse; biblical narratives on Apocalypse(its meaning is linked to the origin of Apostle) points to a geographical ‘land’; and this ‘land’ is responsible to identify the origin of the ‘prophetic revelations’.

Savin-sur-Gartempe is a coined-name of three names: Savin, Sur, and Gartempe; both Savin and Gartempe as the names suggest, form a geographical part of the divine land of ‘sur’ that identifies the Land of the Sun. While Savin’s root is in Sava or Sabitru( of epic Gilgamesh) or Sabita/Sabitri( of Indian puranas), Gartempe means ‘Goutama’ or Gautama’; it may mean ‘Gotamba’ or ‘Amba of Gautama’. Buddhist literature mentions Sava as a place in Rohan; and names Savattha as a Sage, and Savatthi as a royal city.
