They carried forward a rich tradition of temple building in India. The most outstanding feature of this temples are the thoussand=petalled lotuses that decorate the domes in Rangamandapas. Some 200 kms from the mount Abu, in Ranakpur, the Adishvara temple is an achievement of a different kind. The thousand columns that define its wondrous spaces are all unique as no two are alike. S.Kumar explores the artistic nuances of this temples in the context 0f the rich tradition of temple architecture and iconography in India.
