THE SHRINE RISES AGAIN AND AGAIN |
|
|
| Ra
Mandlik humbly solicited protection from Begda and embraced Islam. Begda removed the Linga
from the temple of Somanatha and converted it into a mosque. Some of the Muslim accretions
seem to have been added at this time. But the
edifice was not used as a mosque for any length of time. Soon after, it appears that the
level of the temple was raised and the outlet "C" for the sacred water (referred
to at page 103) was constructed. It is difficult to say when this took place but it could
not be very much later than A. D. 1500. |
