DESCRIPTIONS OF THE CUTTINGS |
|
|
It
appears that from here onwards, the garbhagriha walls were never pulled down since the
same type of masonry continues up to the existing height. 1 foot 10 inches immediately
above water outlet 'B' is the outlet 'C', 5 inches in height and the same in width. This
raising of the floor-level synchronized with the use of the other brahmashila. The latter
is 3 ½’' feet square and is similarly chamfered marginally to a width of 6 inches.
In the central space are also to be seen nine holes.
Cutting across the Mandapa,
Previous excavations had laid bare 5 feet 9 inches below surface a flooring immediately
outside the northern approaches to the mandapa. The precise relation of this with the
structures was, however, not known. |
