The simple decoration of the outside of the basement wall surrounding the hall is exceedingly neat and effective, and is in marked contrast with the overloaded walls of Trikūṭēśvara (Fig. 33). There is quite as lavish a display of ornamental detail in this little temple as there is in the other, but it is generally applied with better judgment and taste. The simple, straight-lined cornice adds to its general appearance; it is lighter and more graceful than the heavier curved cornice which was so much used.
