The Colas c36.10

c36.10

Fig. 5. Śiva temple, from north-east. Korkai Tirunelveli District Its sanctum is similar to that of fig. 4. Here, however, the basement is high; a short parapet with a frieze of animals in high relief all along the cornice is seen and the niche-motif is pronounced. Pillared portico has given place to a walled up *antarāḷa*. Other structures are of later date. The frieze of animals became a recurring motif in temples from now on.
