Mandapam
This is another
incomplete mandapam. The Mandapam is at a height reached by a few
small steps. There are two rows of pillars, the outer row of pillars
have a sitting lion as the base.
Here, Mr.Swaminathan
indicated the square cut marks that had been made, a stage in breaking
up of the rocks. The passages on the sides of the mandapam
indicate that a prakaram (the passage going round the garbagriham) was
being excavated. The two sides passages have been carved out with
a row of pillars in the middle.
