Mediaeval Temples of the Dakhan c13.s5.16

c13.s5.16

This completes the ring of temples around the lake in the bottom of the crater. Ascending, again, by the same ravine, but taking the eastern branch at the top, we come to the ruins of a small temple, No. 16. It faces the east and consists of a shrine, the remains of a pavilion in front of it, and a *kuṇḍa* beside it. It has plain undecorated walls, but the shrine door-frame is particularly well carved. The pavilion is supported upon four well-carved pillars which look like earlier work than anything else at the lake; and the ceiling is also well decorated with cusped ornament of the style of the work found in Tejaḥpāla’s temple at Mt. Ābu. The outer part of the roof has fallen.
