The Great Temple is supposed to date from the tenth century. Some of the minor accessory figures on it are pleasing, the sculptor having more liberty for the exercise of his fancy and taste in treating them than he had when modelling the canonical images of the gods. Two specimens are given of such minor figures, one from the Great Temple, and the other from the Baitāl Dēwal, an edifice in the Dravidian style of about the same period (Figs. 134, 135).
