Mediaeval Temples of the Dakhan c9.s2.4

c9.s2.4

Among the images still remaining on the outside of the temple, which are all small, is a *devī* (Pārvatī?) seated upon a tiger or a lion with curly mane up above the cornice on the south face. Little corner lion-brackets occupy the tops of the wall pilasters while, between them, in the running band, are small figures of sorts, some of which are very indecent. Around the lower part of the wing walls, a portion of which remains on the north side, there have been some very fine carved groups, some of which have been carried away and have been built into the wall of a little shrine on the bank of the stream nearby. A fragment of one of these groups still exists in the north wing wall, west face, with two on the north face representing incidents from the *Rāmāyaṇa*, the other being a group of three standing figures in an attitude of adoration.
