v2.c12.203
Offering their two slanting surfaces to the light at a right angle, the 'bud'-like buttresses of this kind of Prāsāda are rich with many gradations of light and shade in which the images and carvings are embedded (Pls. XLIII-IV). The Pallavikās, the faceted or 'indented' apices, further dissolve the mass of the walls into sheets of light and darkness.
