Portion of the Temple at Hurulhullee 1866
-
Photograph of a portion of the temple at Hurulhullee. The temple is much more complete in its details than that at Someswar (shown in RCIN 2603922) and has not been whitewashed. All the stone carvings have thus retained their original sharpness and beauty. The central part of the canopy over the window is a complete miniature representation of the upper part of the building to which it is attached.
Hurulhullee was a town located thirteen miles east of Hullabeed. The temple belonged to the period of the Bellala dynasty, which erected the great temples at Belloor and Hullabeed. It was later in date and inferior in quality of ornamentation to the great temples of the capital, although it was dedicated to the same god, Siva. -
