The Structural Temples of Gujarat
of all the mouldings in the walls. Similarly the mandovara of
the temples at Dwarka (Rukama峁噄), Baradia, Khandosan, and
Girnar (Triple-shrine) contain all the mouldings.
Some large and storied temples correspondingly have two,
three or even more storeys in the mandovara. In the storied
building, the upper storey successively decreased in height,
so the ma峁囜笉ovara of the first, second or third storey correspondingly
requires less height. By omitting the lower mouldings like-
Kumbhaka and Kalsa and repeating certain upper mouldings
like Kevala, Jangh膩, Udagama, Bharani comparatively of less
height than the former one the height of the upper storey is
diminished. In such a case the upper most moulding K奴ta
Chadya is taken to upper most storey.
The walls of the temple at Ghumali, Sejakapur, Tarnga,
Shamalaji, Somanatha (extinct) contain two storeys and so
they have repeated mouldings of Jangh膩 etc. with a lesser
height. The Dwarkadhisa temple at Dwarka is a five storeyed
building, consequently its ma峁囜笉ovara has five storeys each
having its moulding repeated from Jangh茫 to bharani with its
height decreasing at each upper storey.
(ii) Canonical principles discerned.
The propertionate measurement of the height of the wall of
the garbhagriha in relation to the width of wall and to the width
of the garbhagriha2 have been prescribed by the early works but
they do not lay down any rules pertaining to the mouldings
and their measurements.
Sm. Su. enumerates the names of various mouldings鲁 of
the wall-face but particulars supplied about their units of
measurements and dimensions are not so much fitting to the
extant temples of Gujarat.
