| The
image is said to be the image of the 'Kalebara' of Sibi, with the head cut off, and on top
of the Linga, there are still two large vertical cavities.. One of these cavities helps to
drain off the Abhisheka Tirtha to an unknown place and even today the smell of raw flesh
and blood comes out of this since the God here is a very powerful one. The temple is of the greatest importance to us from the point of view of
temple architecture. There are, as is well known, three types of temple architecture,
called the Nagara, the Vesara and the Dravida, and the main distinguishing features of
these are to be seen only in the Vimana over the main shrine of the temple. |
