English: From the source,
Photograph of the ruined colonnades at Mehekar, taken by Robert Gill in 1871 and described (by Gill) in Cousens, Central Provinces list (1897), p. 80, 'All that a few years ago represented the once fine temple of Mehkar was a picturesque ruin of standing columns and lintels, situated upon a very high basement or platform. The columns, judging from photographs, were of an old type and rather neat in design, and decorated with large lozenge-shaped ornament, conventional eaves, and bands of geese. These have now all disappeared.' The pillars are combined with horizontal stone lintels to provide support for the roof, a method of construction typical of temple design. The temple was also accompanied by residential buildings built to house visiting pilgrims to the site. |
