v1.c8.s4.16

To derive the flat roofed structural temple from preceding and contemporary rock cut types as is generally done, is hardly possible. The rock cut shrine has no specific shape. Being a work of sculpture by excavation, any shape can be cut from the mass of the rock, the vaulted type of bamboo origin and the other, the ‘dolmen type’ with straight wall and roof.
