The finest building of the Indo-Gandharan school is unquestionably the ruined temple of Mârtând in Kashmir, built by King Lalitâditya-Muklâpîda between 725 and 760 A.D. There is not much left of it now, except part of the *garbha-griha* (the shrine) (Pl. XXXII), and the ruins of the quadrangular wall with monastic cells which enclosed it (fig. 46).
