The Chalukyan Architecture of the Kanarese Districts c12.s2.3

c12.s2.3

There is a very conspicuous absence of figure sculpture upon the temple; the *tāṇḍava* on the front, and a few little squatting figures in the mouldings of the tower, are all there are. But inside the temple there are two detached well-cut standing images, placed against the wall, one on either side of the entrance to the antechamber. One is of Brahmā and the other of Śiva (Fig. 24). They are well finished, the details being very elaborately made out. These may possibly be of a later date than the temple itself.
