| Keywords: Hindu temple malot jhelum district.jpg Malot Jhelum District taken by Joseph David Beglar in the 1870s Alexander Cunningham wrote in his report for the Archaeological Survey of India in 1872-3 The only remains of any antiquity at Mallot are a temple and gateway in the Kashmirian style of architecture They are built of a coarse sandstone of various shades of ochreous red and yellow and many parts have suffered severely from the action of the weather the surface having altogether crumbled away The temple is a square of 18 feet inside with a vestibule or entrance porch on the east towards the gateway The gateway is a massive building divided into two rooms On each side of these rooms to the north and south there are highly decorated niches for the reception of statues similar to those in the portico of the temple These niches are covered by trefoil arches which spring from flat pilasters Each capital supports a statue of a lion under a half trefoil canopy The roof is entirely gone; but judging from the square shape of the building I conclude that it must have been pyramidal outside with flat panelled ceilings of overlapping stones Downloaded http //www collectbrittain co uk British Museum website by <font color B8860B >Fowler fowler</font><font color 708090 >«Talk»</font> 17 28 19 March 2007 UTC own s 1870 Fowler fowler wikipedia en PD-old Original upload log page en wikipedia Hindu_temple_malot_jhelum_district jpg 2007-03-19 17 28 Fowler fowler 658×532× 278151 bytes <nowiki>Photograph of the temple and gateway in Kashmiri style at Malot Jhelum District taken by Joseph David Beglar in the 1870s Alexander Cunningham wrote in his report for the Archaeological Survey of India in 1872-3 The only remains of any antiquity at M</nowiki> Archaeological sites in Pakistan Hinduism in Pakistan Buildings in Pakistan Tourism in Pakistan Religious buildings in Pakistan | ||||
