The Chalukyan Architecture of the Kanarese Districts c25.s1.3

c25.s1.3

The closed hall has a doorway on each of its four sides, that on the east communicating with the large open hall, and that on the west leading into the shrine (see plan, Plate CV). In the latter is a *linga*. The cross beams of the porches have cracked in many places, and extra pillars have been inserted beneath them as supports. The doorways have been very richly wrought, and the ceilings of the porches are curiously ribbed (Plate CVII). The outer walls of this hall are decorated in the same manner as those of the shrine.
