The interior of an excavated Hindoo Temple, on the Island of Salsette.
No. XII. THE INTERIOR OF AN EXCAVATED HINDOO TEMPLE, ON THE ISLAND OF SALSETTE.
This view is a representation of the largest of the excavated Temples of the Hindoos in the island of Salsette, the entrance to which is given in Plate III. The ceiling is vaulted, and appears to have been ornamented, though at present so much defaced, that the design is unintelligible. The pillars, which do not diminish, are octangular, and, including base and capital, about fourteen feet high. The capitals are well executed, and chiefly composed of elephants, to which, in some instances, are added, horses and human figures. The idol that occupies the space at the further end of this cave is twenty-three feet in height, and forty-nine in circumference.
