William Henry Pigou (1818-1858)
Pavilion on the East Front of the Temple at Hullabeed 1866
-
Photograph of the pavilion in the centre of the east front of the temple at Hullabeed. The image is a smaller scale version of that shown in RCIN 2603901. It has more detail as it was made from a glass negative (the larger version was made from a paper negative).
The focal point of the image is the semi-circular, highly-carved pavilion that extends from the centre of the temple façade. Its base is elaborately decorated with a series of horizontal bands of stone carving which, starting from the lowest level, depict a procession of elephants with figures mounted on them, a frieze of Shardalas (tigers, which are the emblem of the Bellala dynasty) and a frieze of horsemen. Above the frieze are a series of perforated stone slabs interspersed with decorated stone pillars. -
