| In general the temples are planned starting with a basement portion for raising the main platform so that the mandir is fully visible from long distances and is also saved from acts of nature over a long time period. We show below how the base ment portion was slowly stepped to give a neat ascending and spreading look and then the base of the temple on the platform in the next few photographs. | ||
