Barsi Takli, Akola District. Temple of Kalika Devi [Bhawani Temple]; general view from north-east. Photographer: Cousens, Henry
- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: Architectural Photography
General view looking towards the entrance to the temple, with a small nandi in the foreground. '...The compact little black-stone temple of Bhavani. It consists of a shrine and mandapa or hall, both being freely decorated upon the exterior with bands of mouldings and figures. The mandapa is curiously arranged with regard to the shrine, being attached as it were sideways to it, the open side with its entrance being on one side or at right angles to the doorway of the shrine. The plan of the mandapa is rectangular, while that of the shrine is star-shaped...The temple is not free from indecent figures...The temple is not in regular use and we found no one living on the spot save a filthy half-demented old man who had taken up his lodgings in the temple and was cooking inside the mandapa... (Progress Report of the Archaeological Survey of Western India, for the year ending 30th June 1902, p. 2).
