Mediaeval Temples of the Dakhan c9.s3.11

c9.s3.11

Buildings No. 4, 5 and 6 in this group were, perhaps, rather *maṭhas* or rest houses than temples. They have no shrines, and the halls of Nos. 4 and 6 are oblong. Four pillars support the hall ceilings in each case, and each has a verandah in front. The central ceiling of No. 4 is flat, and is decorated with three circular rosettes. Thin slender pillars were inserted between the forward and back pairs of the pillars of the hall, to assist in supporting the extra long beams above, but only one of these still stands; part of another lies on the floor. Only one pillar of the verandah stands; the rest, with the whole of the roof, has fallen. The building faces the south. Nos. 5 and 6, which face the east, are in ruins.
