Mediaeval Temples of the Dakhan c9.s1.14

c9.s1.14

It has the appearance of a temple of the best period of Chālukyan work, that is, about the eleventh century, and is possibly older than that of. Gondēśvara. There are some details it seems to have borrowed from the northern style, such as, for instance, the kichaka bracket above the capital of the pillars—the little squat figure in the act of supporting the beam. This is not found in Chālukyan work.¹
