The Hindu Temple v2.c12.73

v2.c12.73

The whole architecture of the Vedi and Āsana is translated into stone from a wood and bamboo construction of carved posts and beams and slender bamboo upright, airily joined. The thickness of the posts belongs to their versions in stone; the high seat of the bench is supported by heavy pillars (Pl. LI), their shapes, fully carved, emerge from it and on it rest monumental superstructures. Images and architectural units are juxtaposed; geometrical shapes and fully modelled figures are contiguous.
