1931

CI.— t2 Plan of the temple of Kilikit bevi and pillar and plan of the temple of Daitya Siidana at Lo► 40 : The temple of AntarikshalkaTsvanitha and the doorway of the same. [...] He was a feudatory of the Chalukya king Somegvara I. and held his court at the sea-girt capital of Puri which was probably situated in the middle of the island of Salsette.2 The )(Mayas were at this time confined to the northern part of the Dakhan and had also transferred their allegiance from the Rashtrakatas to the Western Chalukyas. [...] For the purposes of this account the term " Dakhan " is taken to embrace all that country between the Krishna river on the south and the Tapti on the north ; and from the Konkan on the west almost 'up to Haidarabad on the east.2 In most parts of the country the building of these old temples is ascribed to a certain Hemadpant just as those of North Gujarat and the Kanarese districts are placed [...] In the hall the recesses of the doorways tend to equalise the thickness of the walls the weight of the roof being more equally spread over them. [...] The triangular spaces in the corners between the angle of the beams and the edge of the circle are filled in with the kirtimukha face and scrollwork.
