Title:

Satgaon, Buldana District. Old temple on west of village, from the north-east. Photographer: Cousens, Henry

Scope & Content:

Genre: Architectural Photography

General view. '...Rather a fine old temple of Vishnu which faces the west...The ceilings of the mandapa are very well decorated, and in style seem to stand half-way between the later temples of the 13th and 14th centuries, and those of the 11th. The pillars, too, are of an intermediate style. The mandapa is in a very shattered condition, many of the pillars being canted over at very dangerous angles and threatening to collapse. The exterior walls of the shrine are decorated with the usual base mouldings surmounted by bands and panels of arabesque in place of images...a portion of the sikhara stands...As this temple is in such a bad condition, it will be necessary to take down the three porches and rebuild them. The central pillars and dome odf the hall are in fairly good condition...' (Progress Report of the Archaeological Survey of Western India, for the year ending 30th June 1902, pp. 14-15). For an earlier series of views of this temple, taken by Robert Gill in 1871, see Photo 1000 (1992-1994).
