Extract

These two sculptures decorate the pedestal of the Koppeśvara Temple at Khedrapur, south-west of Miraj in the Deccan. Though mentioned in H. Cousens' Chāluhyan Architecture, this temple has so far hardly attracted attention, badly disfigured as it is by later restorations. In a.d. 1231 it was repaired by the Yadava king Singhanadeva. Nothing else is known about it, and the temple poses knotty problems for the art historian. Its sculptures are among the masterpieces of Mediaeval Indian art.
