The Antiquities of Orissa v1.c8.49

v1.c8.49

**Bhogamandir** : The refectory is a square room having only two doors, one opening into the dancing hall, and the other in front. Its pyramidal roof generally, though not invariably, corresponds with that of the porch, and its walls are profusely ornamented with a variety of floral scrolls and mouldings. It is, however, lower than the dancing hall which on its part is lower than the porch, and is in every instance that I have noticed a subsequent addition, and not synchronous with the temple.
