Abstract
Description
This is constructed, as in all Indian Temples, by corbelling. The square coffering is reduced to an octagon by stones at the corners which support the circular ceiling. From the central stone there hangs an enormous unopened lotus flower. All round the first circular gallery dwarfs are portrayed in various postures.
