Floor plan of the Gangua kund mandapa near Mahadev temple, Loteshvar

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: This is a JPEG format plan and architectural drawing of a historic Indian temple or monument. An alternate SVG format (scalable vector graphics) version of this file – for web graphics, design studies, print, dynamic and interactive applications – has also been uploaded to wikimedia commons.

The drawing:

  • Lotesvar is a village about 40 kilometers west of Modhera. Near the village is an ancient lake (pond) called Gangua kund. On the west bank of this lake is a temple group dedicated to Shiva. Among these is the above historic monument with four entrances and a well in the center. It was likely a part of a lost temple, and pre-8th century.
  • This is the floor plan of the monument.
  • The temple's architectural plan follows the square and circle principle found in historic Sanskrit texts. However, such a plan is highly uncommon.
  • The relative scale and relative dimensions in this architectural drawing are close to the actual but neither exact nor complete. The plan illustrates the design and layout, but some intricate details or parts of the temple may not be shown. In cases where exact measurements were not feasible, the drawing uses best approximations and rounds the best measurements feasible.
