The Hindu Temple v2.c12.335

v2.c12.335

This small Prāsāda is a model of clarity in the disposition and proportion of its architectural theme: (1) The socle, (2) the threefold horizontal division of the wall; its Vedikā, Jaṅghā and upper part, from which springs (3) the full curve of the Śikhara, repeated by its offsets in continuation of the vertical projections of the wall. The Bhūmis with their square corner Āmalakas and the large crowning Āmalaka are balanced in the architectural composition by the pediments above the 'shrine' of the Pārśvadevatā on the Bhadras, and the large pediment in lieu of the Śukanāsā over the entrance to the Prāsāda.
