Mandapam 		Ghanpur - Ruined Siva Temple

Mandapa walls

Ruined Siva Temple

This temple is similar to the Ganapesvara, but slightly smaller and even more ruined. However, the roof of the south porch has survived as have the pierced screens flanking the entrance to the mandapa. Inside, the mandapam roof has fallen in and remains heaped on the floor. The elaborate granite frames of the ardhamandapa and sanctuary entrances still remain. Inside the sanctum is a polished, red lingam.
