Description: | Photograph of the interior of a temple at Velapur in the Sholapur District of Maharashtra, taken by Henry Cousens, from the Archaeological Survey of India Collections: Western India 1897-98. This is a view from a colonnaded porch looking towards the entrance and the interior of a temple at Velapur. The temple is a double shrine in the Hemadpanti style dating to c.1300 in the reign of Devagiri Yadava king Ramchandra (1271-1310). Numerous temples in the Hemadpanti style were built in Central India under the Yadava dynasty in the 12th century. They are characterised by a certain heaviness and the decoration is usually in the form of wall mouldings. There is no figure sculpture on the outer walls. | 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 |
