Udipi [Udupi], South Kanara District. Anantesvara Temple. Photographer: Archaeological Survey of India
- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: Architectural Photography
General view: 'As I was not permitted to go inside, I deputed a Hindu photographer to go into the courtyard and try a get a general view of the building and to photograph any sculptures or other antiquities of interest that he might meet with. However, he was not permitted to enter the central shrine, but he was successful in obtaining a general view of the exterior of the temple which shows what a quaint looking building it is..' The temple is a tiered structure with deeply sloping roof, the lower section in stone. The temple 'has the usual wooden roof and gable front facing the east and is covered with small thin copper sheets arranged like tiles with three copper gilt finials along the ridge of the roof. The somewhat extraordinary manner in which the lower portion of the building is roofed seems to indicate that it is a stone model of a wooden building. The roofing of the temple is certainly a very remarkable piece of stone construction...' (Alexander Rea, Annual Report of the Archaeological Department, Southern Circle, Madras, for the year 1920-1921 (Madras, 1921), p. 25).
