From the details given above it would be clear that both the Indian and European entablatures have much similarity in their composition and relative proportion. In the words of Rām Rāz, ‘the massiveness of the Indian entablature offers a striking contrast to the lightness of the Grecian; but the richness of the former may be said to be unrivalled.’—(*Ess. Arch. of Hind.*, p. 40, also see Plate xix, figs. 1–4.)
