After the temple itself was finished fresh additions appear to have been made from time to time in the rock walls of the surrounding court. The large cave temple, known as Lankesvara, cut in the scarp on the north side of the court, differs so markedly from the style of the central temple, that it must be ascribed to fully one if not two centuries later.² Some excavations, too, are quite unfinished, and works may have gone on till the 12th century.
