Mandalgarh. Rock-cut Temple of Guptesvara, interior. Photographer: Bhandarkar, D.R.
- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: Architectural Photography
Interior view looking towards sanctuary doorway, with sculpture pieces in foreground. 'The temple of Guptesvara is in reality a natural cave, divided into two parts, the shrine and the hall. The door-frames of both are old, but their sides do not harmonize. To the right of the shrine doorway is a large statue of the goddess Yamuna, seated on a tortoise. Another image of interest, on the left of the door-frame, is that of a deity, seated on a padmasana or lotus thronew, with two hands, one of which wields a club and the other is broken off. He is seated with his legs crossed, and with a band of cloth running round his knees to support him in that posture. An almost illegible scrawl on the lintel of the entrance doorway informs us that the temple was constructed in A.D. 1514.' (Progress Report of the Archaeological Survey of Western India for the year ending 30th June 1905', p. 58).
