Photograph of the Sivite temple at Mungur in the Bellary District in Karnataka.
The image shows the pillared porch of the temple. The pillars have multiple designs and sharp edges. The roofs are pyramidal and have deeply-cut mouldings, and typifies a type of roofing common in Northern and Eastern India. The text describes the roof as 'having no appearance of cells or dwellings' which 'affords great play of light and shade'. -
