**Nakesvara Temple**—About 200 yards to the west of the last there is another temple of the same character and size (Plate XLII). It is called Nākeśvara, and has a higher Mohan than the last. The pediments on these latter are elaborate, and richly sculptured; but there is no corresponding richness in the ornamentation of the body of the temple. The fane is now deserted, and I saw no trace of any priest or *pūjā* paid to its divinity, which is a misshapen block of stone doing duty for a *lingam*.
