Excavation revealed two adjoining temples facing a rivulet on the e. The temple walls were built on a cross-shaped plan, characterized by diagonal and angular projections in corners with a vestibule on \*ardha-maṇḍapa\* in front and with an intervening space between the two temples. The \*garbha-gṛha\* was circular on plan with a projection for the entrance. The construction of the temples on a circular base and with angular and diagonal projections is unique. The temples were brick-built but the doors were of carved stone. From the lintels of the doors, one bearing the figure of Gaṇeśa and the other Garuḍa, and from the discovery of a \*liṅga\* and an image of Viṣṇu it was evident that one of the temples was dedicated to Śiva and the other to Viṣṇu. They may be dated to \*c.\* 10th century on the basis of the style of the icons. \*IAR 1965-6\*. - [Previous: v2.c29.1145](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c29.1145) - [Next: v2.c29.1147](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c29.1147) - [Up: v2.c29](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c29) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c29.1146](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c29.1146) · Pramāṇa
