Kaner-ki-Putli: Architectural drawings
By Ar Deepak Gahlowt and his team*
The Kaner-ki-Putli Temple is located near a natural spring in the wild, surrounded by the Bijolia stone mines. It is oriented towards the west, and its current structure includes a garbhagriha (sanctum sanctorum) and an antarala (antechamber), while the mandapa (pillared hall) lies in ruins. The temple features intricate vedibandha (basal mouldings) and a finely carved jangha (wall), characteristic of the 12th-century CE architectural style. Despite significant damage, particularly to its upper shikhara (superstructure), the temple was meticulously restored by the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI).
