There is a large rectangular hall which is divided north to south into four aisles by rows of exquisitely carved pillars, which repre­ sent the high water-mark reached by the Brahmanical faith during this period. The scenes depicted consist of episodes from the Ramayana, Puranas and other religious texts. pAaNG P age 1 .
