Northern side of the Mandapa of the Bhandasar Temple Public Deposited
The northern side of the mandapa (pillared hall) of the Bhandasar Temple has two lateral transepts instead of the doorways on the south side. One of these is used as the priest’s room. Another one has a miniature shrine added to it. Since the Bhandasar Temple has been renovated several times, the interior spaces have undergone significant changes. Upto the level of the antarala (antechamber), the temple portions are of the earlier period, however, the mandapa (pillared hall) has undergone timely reconstructions. The intermediate projection of the temple has icons of celestial damsels and the corner projections have ashtadikpalas (eight cardinal deities).
