Carved exterior walls of the Kumbheshwar Mahadev Temple
Carved exterior walls of the Kumbheshwar Mahadev Temple
Description:
A closer view of the south elevation of the Kumbheshwar Mahadev Temple shows that it has profusely carved exterior walls. The basal mouldings, such as the kani, graaspatti (band of kirtimukhas or face of glory motif), kumbha (pot), and kalasha (a pitcher), are relatively plain. The kumbha moulding has a band of diamond designs. The kapili (cyma recta) portion of the wall that connects the exterior of the garbhagriha (sanctum sanctorum) to the mandapa (pillared hall) has the same wall and plinth designs as the garbhagriha exterior walls.
