The Hindu Temple v2.c12.14

v2.c12.14

In deep indentations space lies between the ‘towers’ of the temple (Pl. I); in dark openings below projecting rooflets (chādya) it stretches along its length, within its body, a band of measured compartments which contradicts the volume of piers and Śṛṅgas and bisects the building; below is the pile of masonry raised on its terrace (Jagatīpītha; S.S. LVI. 124, gives its height as half of the width of the Prāsāda).
