The Indian craftsmen, it is generally believed, were anonymous. Many however signed their names and some even proclaimed the pride which they took in their work in inscriptions like the one from temple No. 9 in Aihole (Fig. in Part VI) of about the 7th century: "There has not been, and there shall not be in Jambudvipa any expert (vidvān) in the art of building temples (vāstu-prāsāda) equal to Naraśobha" ('Indian Antiquary', Vol. IX, p. 74, Cousens, 'The Chālukyan Architecture', p. 44).
