Small shrine no. 2 in the Hanuman Garhi temple complex
Description:
The temple is built in sandstone, mainly with the jangha (wall) sculptures made in gray schist. As seen here, the temple is a single shrine consisting of a garbhagriha (sanctum sanctorum) and a mandapa (pillared hall). The temple's tiered phamsana shikhara (pyramidical stepped superstructure) has an amalaka (a ribbed discus) at the finial. The use of different materials for the entire temple body and the jangha is peculiar. The stone used for sculptures is polished.
