The Temple of Nanṇēśvara

c14.s3.1

Of about the same date as Kāśiviśvēśvara is the temple of Naṇṇēśvara, a few yards to the back or west of it. Though smaller, the latter is practically the same as the other in plan and general design. It has an outer open hall, but no smaller subsidiary shrine (Plate LXXIII), and has not got quite so much of that delicate carving about it. It is in a much more shattered condition.

c14.s3.2

The village of Lakkuṇḍi is full of the remains of temples, most of which have some points of interest about them, but it would make our account too long to describe them all.
