Title:

Sangamesvara. General view of Mahadeva Temple. Photographer: Cousens, Henry

Scope & Content:

Genre: Architectural Photography

Henry Cousens, 'Revised list of antiquarian remains in the Bombay Presidency ... originally compiled by J. Burgess' (Bombay, 1897), p. 61: '...The temple consists of the usual shrine, a hall whose roof has disappeared, and a very prolonged porch. The exterior of the temple is perfectly devoid of figure sculpture, its place being taken by three bands of geometric ornament. These are exceedingly chaste and effective, and run round, in unbroken lines, the three sides of the exterior walls of the hall and shrine. The ceiling of the antechamber is peculiar in that the mouldings assume an oval in plan, a veryunusual shape for a ceiling. In the shrine is a linga, and the temple would seem to have been originally dedicated to Shiva.' Another copy of this print at Photo 1002 (2134).
