The Structural Temples of Gujarat
The outstanding temples may be described as follows:-
厂补谤补苍别艣惫补谤
The Siva temple of S膩r峁噀艣var at Abhapur* is in a dilapidated
condition. The temple consists of a garbhag峁沬ha, an antar膩la, a
circumambulatory, a g奴d岣�ama峁囜笉apa flanked by porches on either
side and a sabh膩ma峁囜笉apa. In elevation part it is a three storied
building. In front of the temple there is a wide Yag帽aku峁囜笉a
with beautifully carved vedis. The pitha, mandovara and vedik膩s
of man岣峚pas and porches are highly carved in the post
Caulukyan style. The pillars of the mandapas and porches are,
too, noteworthy as some of them have typical shape either to
unknown to Caulukyan temples. From bottom to top they are
round in shape with ringlets at intervals on the shafts of the
pillars which are otherwise plain. The bases and capitals of
these pillars are mostly carved with the designs of inverted
petals. Similar pillars also are seen at Lakhe峁嚹� mandira of this
region. The superstructures over the shrine, ma峁囜笉apas and
porches are extinct. 62
In the compound of the temple stands a memorial stone
bearing an inscription dated V. S. 1554 and S. S. 1420 and
recording the name of Mah膩r膩j膩dhir膩ja Shri R膩va Bh膩峁嘺.
The temple is recently re-inhabitated by a Sadhu and
hence visited by devotees off and on.
L膩khe峁嚹� temple
This is a Jain temple. The temple is in ruins. It consists of
a girbhagriha, an antar膩la, a g眉d岣�ama峁囜笉apa, a trikama峁囜笉apa, a
Sabh膩ma峁囜笉apa, porches and a bal膩峁嘺ka. It is double-storeyed
building. The shrine door measures 4-6脳2 ms. Both the ma峁囜笉apas
temples recently. I also gathered information from Shri J. M. Nanavati
and Shri M. A. Dhaky of the Archaeological Dept. of Government
of Gujarat. Most of the temples, now, are conserved by the
said department.
