General view of the Ayeshvara Temple, Sinnar. Photographer: Cousens, Henry
- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: Architectural Photography
Henry Cousens, 'Revised list of antiquarian remains in the Bombay Presidency ... originally compiled by J. Burgess' (Bombay, 1897), p. 50: '...the remains of a Chalukyan temple. It consists now of the shrine, but with part of the first storey of the shikara, and eight columns standing out before it in two groups of four each, one behind the other. These pillars are polygonal in plan...four being eight-sided and four six-sided with recessed corners...A most superb piece of carving spans the entrance to the antechamber and is one of the finest pieces of chiselled decorative work to be found in any shrine in Western India...Altogether this temple has been a perfect gem, rich in the very best workmanship, the bas-reliefs being exceedingly well carved.'
