Nirmand. Ambika Temple. Photographer: Pindi Lal (Archaeological Survey of India).
- Scope & Content:
-
General view, looking down onto the temple. See Francke (1914), p. 5: 'The Ambika temple ... is below the village, and a flight of 184 stone steps leads up towards it, and continues from the back of the temple towards the village. This temple is said to be the oldest in the place, and Ambika (probably a form of Kali) is the chief deity of Nirmand. According to Pindi Lal, the Devi image is in a standing posture and about two feet high. Her face is black, and her clothes covered in gold. Whoever approaches her (only Brahm,ans are allowed to do so) has to take off his trousers. In this temple is kept the copper-plate grant of King Samudra-sena of the 7th century...'
