NORTHERN HINDU ARCHITECTÜRE. 
The three views in fratne 121 are interesting as 
showing tlie northern and Southern styles in juxta- 
position. Purudkul in Dharwar is situated on the 
border line between the two architectural provinces, 
and apparently at the same time was oecupied hy 
Dravidians and Hindus. At all events we have here 
the straight-lined pyramid,with its distinctly-marked 
storeys, side by side with the curvilinear tower of the 
north, without any trace of a storeyed arrangement. 
As hinted above, the Dravidian style probably grew 
out of the many-storeyed Viharas or monasteries of 
the Buddhists, but we have not yet discovered the 
Prototype of the northern styles.

The great temple at Bobeneswar erected in the 
7th Century is not only one of the oldest, but one of 
the finest and most complete of the dass, and with 
the numerous temples around it, shown in cases 
122 to 124, form one of the most remarkable and 
most extensive groups of temples in India. The 
great Temple of Juggernath (123) was erected in 
the 12th Century, and is the scene of the celebrated 
car festival.

Frames 125 to 127 contain examples of this style 
in Western India, differing slightly from those in 
Cuttack, but displaying the same general charac- 
teristics as those in Orissa. It is doubtful whether 
the temple now seen at Somnath (127) is that said 
to have been destroyed by Mahmoud of Guzni. 
Parts of that temple are probably among the ruins, 
but modified by subsequent alterations.

The temple of Ambernath, near Callian, in Bom 
bay Harbour (128 to 130), is a fine specimen of this 
style of architecture, and if an inscription found on 
it is to be trusted, belongs to the ,9th Century. From 
the style, however, it is more probable that in its 
present form it is a Century, and may be two cen- 
turies more modern.

Warungal, in the Nizam’s territory, became the 
seat of an important Hindu dynasty in the 1 Ith 
Century, and in 1184 was the Capital of Rudra-deva, 
one of the most famous sovereigns of his time. The 
Principal buildings illustrated in these photographs 
(131 to 134), date from his time. None can with 
certainty be assumed to be older than his time, but 
some of these at Warungal itself, particularly the 
gateways in the last frame, come down very nearly 
to the Mahomedan conquest in 1334.
