| "Here are
numerous, temples and sculptures, principally Jaina; the principal ones are collected
within a long shed, which occupies the site of a large temple, of which the foundations
still exist; the principal object of attention here is a colossal naked figure, with the
lotus as symbol on the pedestal; the figure is 7 and
half feet high; near it, and along the walls are ranged numerous others, two small ones
with the bullsymbol, one smaller with the lotus, a votive Chaitya sculptured on four
sides, the symbols of the figures on the four sides being a lion, an antelope, a bull, and
what appears to be a lamb; over each principal human figure on the Chaitya isrepresented a
duck or a goose, holding a garland; there is, besides this, a second votive Chaitya, and
there may be others within that I could not see; the temple, which enshrined the colossal
figure, must have faced west;
it was very large, containing the full complement of
preliminary chambers and hall in front of the sanctum."…. "To the north of
this stands a line of four stone temples, three still standing, one broken; these are of
the usual single cell pattern, and the doorway is not cut up into two portions; these
then, as well as the brick one just noticed were single cell temples, but at some
subsequent period mandaps were added to them; . |
