Description: | Photograph of a small ruined Jain temple in the Fort at Hangal, taken by Henry Cousens in the 1880s. Hangal is a small town south of Hubli in modern Karnataka which was under Chalukya rule in the 12th century and subsequently under Hoysala rule in the next century. The town has a number of Hindu temples, most famously the Tarakesvara temple but there are also a few Jain temples at Hangal which were probably built just after AD1150. The ruins of the temple in this view consist of an open hall with four bell shaped lathe-turned pillars which has lost its roof and the sanctuary. | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Rights holder: | British Library | Source: | Collect Britain | Creator: | Cousens, Henry | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
