Kaladarshana - Ancient and Medieval Historical Indian Architecture and Art - Alampur

Enclosure
The temple is raised on a basement platform whose outer edge is raised to form a perimeter wall that surrounds the pradakshinapatha. This is a rare feature in Badami Chalukya temples, though comparable with the Pallava Kailasnatha temple at Kanchipuram. This perimeter wall has several moldings separated by miniature pilasters, and is surmounted by a series of shala roof forms. The south-east corner is developed into a complete shrine with a barrel-vaulted roof.
