Entrance Portal
This sandstone entrance portal stands on the path to the enclosure containing the Nava Brahma temples. Portals such as these are rare in Hindu temple complexes, certainly no other examples remain from the Badami Chalukya period. The multifaceted pillars have square blocks at the top with mythological scenes and double-ribbed discs above as capitals. The lintel has blocks with images of dieties on vahanas, probably the Navagrahas. |
