It may have been a prototype, from which other temples were derived. The architect may have attempted to modify Dravidian style with a new technique. It consists of three super-imposed sanctuaries, situated in the different storeys of the building. These storeys are of the same size, but with miniature buildings surrounding them. The vimana is surrounded by a covered gallery with supporting pillars, carved in the shape of seated lions. Bas-reliefs around the gallery depict historical events, according to Prof. Jouveau-Dubreuil it is a Vaisnavite [sic] temple. -- View of the covered gallery.35mmmounted transparencyb&wimage/tiffen-AUPallava-- Kanchipuram (Conjeeveram) - Pallavaarchitecturestone sculpturebook scan2019-10-15This item is provided for research purposes.
