v2.c13.s3.63
The *Rāja-taraṅgiṇī* of Kalhaṇa, dealing with the history of Kashmir, refers frequently to architectural objects like castles (*Bāṇa-śālā*)⁴, monumental buildings (*Chaitya*),⁵ and monasteries (*Vihāras*).⁶ But in these references very few structural details are to be met with. The references of Kalhaṇa to temples and other buildings also generally lack constructive details.⁷ But interesting structural details of some shrines merely referred to in Kalhaṇa's work are elaborated by Major C. B. Bates in the Gazetteer of Kashmir¹ and have been given in a note by Sir M. A. Stein.²
