c11.s1.3

The temple of Someśvara, in the fields beyond the stream, on the north of the town, is similar to that of Nāganātha, but smaller. It was never finished, much of its decoration being merely traced out on the walls. The temple of Bhāiroba, in the village, is a long clumsily-built old shrine, on either side of the entrance doorway of which stands a roughly carved viragal. The temple of Nārāyaṇadeva, near by, consists of a partly ruined old temple repaired and added to with brick and mortar masonry, and a wooden-tiled mandapa or hall. Nārāyaṇadeva is set up within the shrine, but, in a niche in the inner hall, is placed a linga. There is rather a good doorway inserted in the entrance to the courtyard.
