The pillars in these temples are very shapeless when compared with those in the older buildings which we have been studying in the previous pages. There is an indecision of outline and an infirmity of purpose about them; they are ill-proportioned, squat and clumsy, and, if designed by descendants of the old Chālukya builders, they show a great falling off and general decadence in their art. The same may be noticed in the figure sculpture.
