| The
floor-level inside the garbhagriha was roughly 6 inches higher than that of the mandapa,
which in turn was 4 inches higher than that of the porch. Phase II. -In conception and in size the temple of this phase closely resembled
Phase I. It was actually superimposed over the earlier plinth. As already stated, the
floor-level in the mandapa was raised by 3 feet 9 inches. In the garbhagriha there was not
so much of raising. The extent of the mandapa, on the east is indicated by the pavement-
stone mouldings. The entranc steps on the east were not available and may have been
demolished at the time of the erection of Phase III. The floor-level of the garbhagriha
was 13 inches lower than that in the mandapa, which, in turn, was inches higher than that
in the porch. |
