Description: | Photograph of a close view of the remaining portions of ceiling in the Ghantai Temple, Khajuraho, Madhya Pradesh from the Archaeological Survey of India Collections, taken by Joseph David Beglar in 1871-72. The Ghantai Temple dates from the late 10th century of the Chandella dynasty and takes its name from the chain-and-bell (ghanta) motifs carved on its tall pillars. The entrance porch and a mandapa are the only extant structures, each resting on four tall pillars that support an ornate ceiling. The mandapa has an elaborate doorway with an architrave carved with sixteen auspicious Jain symbols. | 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: | Beglar, Joseph David | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
