Mediaeval Temples of the Dakhan c11.s4.2

c11.s4.2

The great temple of Śambhu Mahādeva, which is a good example of a very late "Hemadpanti" temple, is situated about three quarters of a mile west of the village upon the highest point of the range, and is a conspicuous object for miles around. Beneath this temple, upon the north side, is the older one of Amṛteśvara, while, around them both, upon the sloping eastern and northern sides of the hill, nestles the little village of Brahman ministrants. A broad flight of steps leads down, under two great archways, to the plain beneath, where it joins the road which connects the hill with the village. On either side of this road are dharmaśālās or rest-houses, wells, and samāds or tombs.
