The Hindu Temple v2.c12.346

v2.c12.346

The transition from the octagonal to the circular section of the pillar is effected with carved chains. Part of the surface of the pillar is left rough with chisel marks; the smooth ground, the colouristic carving with its black shadows, and the modelled rhythm of the ring of flying Vidyādharas are some of the possible transformations of the shape of the pillar, into the sculpture of its several parts.
