Descriptive Note Text: Triple-shrine to Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva. Prime exapmle of Brahmanical art before the Muslim invasions; Hindu temple in the Post-Gupta period in North India. This temple is an early example of the Orissan style, where the bands of light and shadow formed by projecting courses of stone have not yet subordinated the form to the pattern. Free text
