v2.c17.148

As in the case of the Great Tower so here, the Temple and the Porch are the oldest, and the Dancing Hall and the Refectory the latest. The last is perfectly plain and plastered with stucco, whereas the other three are lined with brick-red sandstone, and elaborately sculptured. Ths temple and the Porch have, in the niches and recesses, a large number of statues and statuettes, but there are none in the Dancing Hall. In the inside of the last there is a small column surmounted by a figure of *garuḍa* in black chlorite.
