(32) ‘The stone prākāra or compound wall (of the Amṛiteśvara temple at Amṛitāpura in the Tarikere Taluq, described and illustrated in the *Mysore Archaeological Reports* for 1911–12, pp. 24–26, and frontispiece) is now in ruins. It had on the top all round thick stone discs, about 6½ feet in diameter, with rectangular bases, both in one piece, the outer faces being sculptured with fine figures of flowers, animals, gods, etc., in relief . . . The prākāra must have once presented the appearance of a veritable art-gallery, seeing that the artistically carved figures are of various kinds and designs.’—(V. A. Smith, Architecture and Sculpture in Mysore, *Ind. Ant.*, Vol. XLIV, p. 93, para. 6.)
