The Colas c36.19

c36.19

Fig. 13. North doorway in the above temple. The *śuruḷ* balustrade is simple unlike in later examples at Dārāśuram and elsewhere. Roll-moulding is fine. Pilasters are developed in their section. Dvārapālas, as usual in Cōḻa temples of this period, are fierce-looking and vigorous with their firm stances and the *tarjanī* and *vismaya mudrās* of their hands.
