With the Sabha Mandapa at the right and Gudha Mandapa and main shrine at left. The Gudha Mandapa is partly obscured by a tree in the foreground.
Cousens had taken a series of the views of the Surya Temple at Modhera during a tour in c. 1887. This is an additional view noted in his report for March-April 1890: 'As Modheyra, at which place is the beautiful temple of Surya surveyed by us three years ago, lay not far off the road, I took a detour in that direction personally, staying there one day, to get a few additional measurements of its basement mouldings and an extra photograph.'
