Mediaeval Temples of the Dakhan c9.s5.6

c9.s5.6

The shrine doorway is much disintegrated, but it was not so elaborately decorated as the front door. Over it, one above the other on three bands of mouldings, are three Jinas. Within the shrine, which is quite plain, measuring 13 by 12 feet, are the remains of a Jaina image upon an altar placed against the back wall. The chest, head and umbrella have been smashed and thrown away—part of the umbrella lies outside the cave—but the legs and the cushion are left. On the middle of the cushion is the bull, showing that the image was that of a Ṛishabdeva, while on either side of it is an inscription dated Saka 1266.
