Ambarnath Temple, situated five miles from Cal- 
lian, is a Ling Temple, on the banks of the Wad wan, 
a small stream whieh falls into the Oulas, running 
tili February or March, and stagnant after that date 
until the rains (15th June). The tower or vermanah, 
now destroyed, was composed of two storeys. The 
hall, or mandap, is still covered, but all the termina- 
tions of the stonework have been thrown down ; this 
part is still divided into two storeys, the lower care- 
fully set out, sculptured richly in all its parts, the 
upper, plain, roughly put together, unfaced stones 
projecting everywhere, and for the most part com 
posed of bloeks taken from a former ruin. The 
construction of the dome differs from the rules 
elucidated by Mr. Fergusson in reference to the 
vaulting in Jain Temples in this respect, viz., that 
the upper part is closed by two stones meeting, and 
that a circular place bas been cut out, through which 
the centre pendant is made to hang. 
The interior of the vermanah, which is much below 
the surface of the ground and floor of the Mandap, 
is reached by a flight of steps. 
The Ling, or God “ Shämbba,” a most insignifi- 
cant object, which projects merely a few inches from 
its surrounding “yonee,” in the centre of the 
chamber, has been broken into many pieces by 
masses falling from above. There is nothing to 
prove that this was not the original stone over 
which this beautiful temple was raised by some 
devout worshipper. Under the west portico of the 
Mandap is a Nundee, or Sacred Bull, the usual 
vehicle or vehan of Mahadeva (Shiva); but there 
is no doubt that its present position is not the one 
originally occupied by it. It must have been either 
in the centre chamber, under the dome, or at a short 
distance outside facing the west entrance. 
The compound surrounding the building is replete 
with carved ruins. Three flights of stairs, having 
sides elaborately sculptured, lead to higher ground, 
which was formerly built upon, and from which 
bricks of a large size are still recovered from heaps 
strewn about in abundance. A number of sculptured 
“ Suttee ” stones have been dug up from the earth 
near the south portico. These were erected to 
commemorate the self-sacrifi.ee of Hindoo widows on 
the funeral pyre of their husbands. A richly sculp 
tured tank of small dimensions, from which a small 
quantity of silver, eopper, and lead coins were dug 
up, is reached by a flight of stairs on the south side. 
Cells seem to have been built in the S.W. and N. 
walls of the compound; and many works, some of 
great importance, have been constructed in the 
surrounding fields, such as a cutting through the 
rock for an artificial channel, the construction of a 
high dam, several hundred yards long, terminating 
in a deep reservoir, and very likely formerly com- 
municating with a tank still in excellent state of 
preservation on the other side of the Wadwan. 
Vestiges of ruins here and there show that at some 
remote period thiä place must have been of great 
importance on account of its sanctity. The transla- 
tions, made by Dr. Bhau Daji, of Bombay, of the 
inscriptions proves that the temple was rebuilt in 
the 9th Century, the date being Samvat 782, eorres- 
ponding with the year 860 of the Christian era. 
Many signs go to prove that a similar temple existed 
previous to the present one. The shaft of a column 
similar to the four central ones has been diseovered, 
and many pieces of sculpture have been recut and 
fitted into their present places, while others show 
clearly that they have been cut partly away to fit. 
The upper storey of the Mandap is full of these 
remains ; so also are the sides of the larger tank.
