Pen-and-ink and wash drawing of the door frame of the Durga Temple at Aihole, by an Indian draftsman, dated 1853.

This drawing represents the elaborate doorway of the mandapa or hall of the Durga temple, the largest and more elaborate of the temples at Aihole, erected at the end of the seventh century during the Early Chalukya period. The entablature is supported by pilastered jambs elaborately decorated with figurative imagery. At the centre there is the image of Vishnu's vehicle Garuda, the remover of obstacles, holding the naga (snake). Small figures of the Adityas inhabit the miniature pavilions at the top of the entablature. Figures of the river goddesses and and guardians are carved beneath at either side of the doorway.
