Mediaeval Temples of the Dakhan c10.s6: Karjat

c10.s6.1

Karjat is twenty-one miles east by south of Śrīgunda. The temple of Mahādeva, though old, is of no particular merit. On the front of the shrine of Malikārjuna, outside the north gate of the town, is a row of very indecent figures. The temple of Nāgeśvara or Nāgoba, across the stream from this, has a shrine whose floor is six feet below the floor of the hall, which is approached by a flight of steps, leading down to it, from inside the shrine doorway. The antechamber to the shrine is about two feet lower than the hall floor. (Plate LXXXV.)
