The
stones were so well set that there was no need for cementing material. But some strong
cementing substance appeared to have been used round the Linga in the 9arbhagriha. The
reconstruction of this temple was made by Prabhashankar Sompura. It was this temple, strong and solid, which survived all these
years. The foundations were not filled with rough pebbles, but large stones were set
against each other with dovel joints. Temple III, therefore, was the one destroyed by
Mahmud Ghazni. The Fourth Temple was constructed by Bhoja and Bhima. It was then
that the outlet B had to be made as the level of the Linga was raised. |
