Mediaeval Temples of the Dakhan c9.s5.2

c9.s5.2

It consists of a large hall, 35 feet square, off the back of which are an antechamber and a shrine, and before it is a long verandah the full length of the width of the hall. Along the front of this verandah is a low parapet wall from which rise two pillars, one on either side of the entrance, supporting the outer eave of the verandah. Opposite these pillars are pilasters, and, between the latter, is the main doorway into the hall. Beyond these pilasters, and between them and each end of the verandah, is a grille window—two square bars each way dividing it into nine lights. The front of these bars is prettily chased with lotus rosettes at the junctions.
