The Chalukyan Architecture of the Kanarese Districts c10.s2.6

c10.s2.6

The temple has been left unfinished, the ornament on the *śikhara* being mostly only blocked out. In the base of the *śikhara*, leading off the roof by a doorway, is a small empty shrine, rather a characteristic of Jaina temples in these districts than of Hindu. There are image niches on the outside of the hall and shrine, but they are now empty. The top corners of the hall niches were decorated with long-tailed *makaras*. The temple faces west.
