Genre: Architectural Photography
Reproduced as a text illustration in Henry Cousens, The Chalukyan architecture of the Kanarese Districts (A.S.I. vol. XLII, New Imperial Series, Calcutta, 1916), fig. 41, and described p. 146: '...a very interesting column in the middle of the village. It stands upon a raised mound, and reaches a height of over thirty feet, although the breadth of the shaft measures no more than fifteen inches. The top is finished off with a spreading octagonal moulded capital, which is surmounted by a broad abacus or slab. Upon this stands a statue of the fabulous two-headed bird, the ganda-bherunda, supposed to have been the mortal enemy of elephants and to have fed upon their flesh...An inscription on the base of the column records its erection...in Saka 969 (A.D. 1047)...'
