Mediaeval Temples of the Dakhan c9.s6.6

c9.s6.6

In the top of Indrāi fort, above the upper cliffs, towards the north end and facing east, is a row of thirteen caves varying from twelve to twenty feet square. They are in a continuous row, being separated from one another by thin partition walls. Each has its doorway, two windows, and verandah, and, in front of one, the largest, about the middle of the line, are two pillars supporting the outer eave of the verandah. In the middle of each of three of the partition walls is a doorway connecting the two adjacent caves. There is nothing about these excavations to indicate for what use they were intended; the absence of images would show that they were probably not used for religious purposes. They were possibly intended to afford shelter to a garrison in ancient times.
