The stone temple has a high sanctuary tower which is topped by an overhanging wooden roof. At the other end of the complex opposite the Manimaheshvara temple is an open pavilion containing an almost life-size sculpture of the sacred bull Nandi, the vehicle of Shiva, which dates from the eighth century. | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Rights holder: | British Library | Source: | Collect Britain | Creator: | Unknown | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
