Description: | Photograph of the Shishireshvara Temple, Bhubaneshwar from the Archaeological Survey of India Collections, taken by William Henry Cornish in 1892. This temple dates from the late 8th Century and it is situated in the same compound of the Vaital Deul. The upper part of the tower that covers the sanctuary has disappeared. The walls are decorated with very fine sculptures including those of Ganesha and Nataraja. This is a view looking along the façade of the sanctuary (with sculpture of Ganesha in niche in foreground) towards the mandapa. The name of the temple is spelt ''Içaneçvara'' in the caption. | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Rights holder: | British Library | Subjects: | Art Hindu Temples Temples Sacred Architecture Sculpture Leisure And The Arts Architecture | Source: | Collect Britain | Creator: | Cornish, William Henry | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
