Hindu Temples: What Happened to Them v2.c19.s2.13

v2.c19.s2.13

Rudramahalaya is the grandest and the most imposing conception of a temple dedicated to Siva. Only a few fragments of the mighty shrine now survive, namely, four pillars in the north and five in the eastern side, porches of the three storeyed *maNDapa*. Four pillars in the back of it, a *toraNa* and a cell at the back remain *in situ* after being dismantled in the 13th century AD. With its adjacent shrines, possibly eleven, part of which was converted into Jami mosque later in the Mughal period, it must have formed part of a grand conception dedicated to Ekadasa Rudras.
