There are numerous temples to be found in different parts of India representative of this puritan phase of Hindu art. Pl. LXXXIII shows the wall sculpture of one such temple in the Dharwar district of the Bombay Presidency, which might belong to a Gothic cathedral. The canopies of the shrines remain as ornaments, but a Vishnu pillar, or a pair of them, used as pilasters take the place of the images.
