Description: | Photograph of the Ramalinga temple at Bail Hongal in Belgaum District, taken by James Burgess around 1874. Bail Hongal is situated 40 km east of Belgaum. It has a simple Chalukya medieval temple which was probably built around AD 1200. It faces east and consists of a sanctuary with a hall with three entrances. The front half is open. Here there are half-length and full-length bell pillars decorated with blocks on the shafts. The outer walls have horizontal mouldings. Outside the temple there is an inscription slab, a relief sculpture of a cobra and another relief sculpture with intertwined snakes. | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Rights holder: | British Library | Subjects: | Art Temples Sacred Architecture Sculpture Leisure And The Arts Architecture Jain Temples | Source: | Collect Britain | Creator: | Burgess, James | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
