Description: | Photograph of Salivahana's temple, Sonatapan taken by J.D.Beglar in 1872. The temple is made of brick and the shikara, pictured here in a decayed and ruinous state rises to a height of nearly thirty feet. the slope of the roof is made of overlapping brick courses. The whole structure stands on a platform and does not appear to have included a mandapa at any time. This can be deduced by the fact that there is no part of the Shikhara or tower against which a mandapa could abutt without obscuring some ornamentation. The temple is decorated with plaster which was added when the structure was originally built. A number of other mounds can be found in the immediate vicinity of Salivahana's temple which were also possibly temples now fallen into ruins. | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Rights holder: | British Library | Source: | Collect Britain | Creator: | Beglar, Joseph David | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
