| Details | Red sandstone. A colossal image of Varāha, facing east, in the portico of a ruined temple at the south end of the group of temples about 800 m to the west of the village. The inscription is on a flattened (slightly concave) panel on the Varāha's neck (or, as expressed by Hall 1861b: 14, it "spans the throat of a colossal image of a swine"). The bottom of the panel is about 180 cm above the ground. |
