Mediaeval Temples of the Dakhan c9.s1.6

c9.s1.6

The ceilings of the porches are very neat, being formed of rings of cusped ornaments, with a small central pendant, which have fallen. On the face of the octagonal band, under the lowest circular moulding, are little figures, representing various scenes, such as the churning of the ocean by the gods and demons and processions. On the dedicatory blocks of all the doorways is Gaṇeśa. Kīrttimukha masks and florid arabesque fill up the corners of the ceilings.
