Architectural elements found in the vicinity of the Someshwar Mahadev Temple complex
Architectural elements found in the vicinity of the Someshwar Mahadev Temple complex
Description:
Seen here are numerous architectural elements like pillar remains, shikhara (superstructure) portions, and plinth mouldings that were found in the vicinity of the panchayatana (main shrine with four subsidiary shrines in each cardinal directions) Someshwar Mahadev temple complex. All these elements must have formed part of the original temple structure but fell apart later. All these remains have been accumulated on a platform to the west of the temple complex. The several shikhara remains indicate that the mandapa (pillared hall) of the temple must have had a ghanta samavarna (bell roof) variety of shikhara. Broken parts of the shekhari (multi-spire) shikhara of the mulaprasada (main shrine) are also found in these remains.
