Ancient Indian Colonization in South-East Asia c11.52

c11.52

A few striking points of similarity may be noted in this connection. In the temple of Pavon in Java we find a *stūpa* as the crowning member of the roof in receding stages, exactly as we find in Burma and some miniature representations of temples in Bengal. The Chandi Bima in Dieng Plateau in Java, which forms a class by itself in this type, possesses a striking resemblance with the temple at Bhitargaon near Kanpur and the Lakṣmaṇa temple at Sirpur.²² The close resemblance of this type with the temple of Lopburi in Siam (11th century) is also obvious.
