Title:

Sirpur (Basim), Akola District. Temple of Antariksha Parsvanatha, general view, north-east. Photographer: Cousens, Henry

Scope & Content:

Genre: Architectural Photography

'...Belonging to the Digambara Jaina community. At present their principal temple is a very modern one in the village, but this was the original temple...The plan of the shrine is star-shaped and the walls are decorated with bands of arabesque, no images being carved except in the three principal niches, and these were loose and detachable if necessary...The temple gives one the impression of being unfinished...Interference with the shrine during the contentions between the rival Muhammadan powers of the Dakhan may have necessitated its final abandonment, and the erection of a temple in the heart of the village provided with underground cells. This probably happened when they were adding the hybrid style brick sikhara, which again was left unfinished...'
