The Structural Temples of Gujarat
Var膩ha figure upon the outside. The roof of the shrine differs
slightly to that of Muni Bawa's temple and the pillars are
practically the same.
In the village there is an old temple of Siva陋8 facing east
resembling very much in details to those at Anandapur and
Parabadi.
The Harsat M膩t膩 and Nilakantha Mahadeva temples at Miani.*
The temple of Harsat M膩t膩 39 is at present dedicated to
Devi but originally it was dedicated to 艢iva.
Had this been intended as temple to a goddess, it would,
most probably, have faced the north.
The shrine, contained a linga set in the middle of the floor,
but this has been up-rooted and smashed, a portion, only, of
the Salunka or lower part, remaining. Ga峁噀艣a presides above
the door way, while above him, in a low, as at the temple of
Surya at Than are the Navagraha. The images have been
disappeared from the principal niches around the outside of
the shrine; the other images have been suffered greatly from
the weather.
The door frame is of the usual style in this class of temple.
The hall ceiling, which is supported on marginal pillars, rising
off the seat that surrounds the hall, and two full length pillars
standing upon the floor, is decorated in the usual style with
horizontal bands of mouldings. The marginal dwarf pillars are
of the same type as those at Sunak in N. Gujarat.40
