Pallava Architecture, Part I (MASI 17) c2.110

c2.110

The third or top storey is unfinished. It consists of an open terrace and a closed-in facade decorated with little plasters and provided with three doorways in front giving access to three little unfinished rock-cut cells. Had it been completed it would have taken the form of a triple-celled temple dedicated to the Hindu Triad. It contains no carvings or images and is of no particular interest. In all probability, it was excavated at a later date than the lower storeys.
