Blessed With Intricate Embellishments
Babor site is noted for its five partially ruined temples with carved
figures of the Hindu gods. They are marked by exquisitely sculptured
statues and statuettes, elaborate and minute carvings, huge fluted pillars
with lion or elephant heads or ornamented capitals, gigantic decorated
roof slabs and beams, all fixed without any binding material.
The statues include a particularly fine one of the Goddess Ganga. The
various temples at Babor include the richly and tastefully decorated
temple of Devi with its numerous miniature medallions, depicting
attractively carved Gods and Goddesses and celestial dancers and
musicians.
Decors Of Shiva Temple
The Shiva temple has sculptured panels of geese, bulls and floral
carvings, a frieze with two armed cavaliers drawing their bows and another
of the God Narasimha. Another frieze shows Krishna playing the flute with
two attendants waving palm frond fans and Lord Vishnu reclining.
