THE ROCK TEMPLES
EL EP HAN TA OR G H A R A P URI, DEscribed AND ILLUSTRATED witH PLANs AND DRAWINGS,
By J. BURGESS, M.R.A.S., F.R.G.S., Editor of “The Temples of Shatrunjaya,” “Photographs from Somanath, Girnar, Junāgadh, and other places in Kathiawad,” &c. WITH 13 LARGE PHOTOGRAPHIC ILLUSTRATIONS, BY D. H. SYKES.
This work contains a full description of the famous Rock-Temple with elucidations of the sculptures from Kálidasa and other Sanskrit writers, &c., and an account of the minor excavations. It is illustrated with plans of the Great Temple, and of three others; the Elephant from which the island received its name; Drawings of the Columns and Basements, and
a Kirttimukh from the Great Cave; and of the Doors and Pillars in the Fourth Cave, -twelve in all and 13 large Pborographs. (Times of India, August 31, 1871.)
We may simply observe here, that the description is the fullest and clearest that has hitherto been published, that the notes seem to have been drawn from every existing source, and that from the drawings and photographs an
accurate idea of the present condition of the temples may be derived. To aid and illustrate the interpretation of the
gigantic sculptures of Elephanta, Mr. Burgess brings under contribution the works of Káidùsa and other of the earliest Shaiva writers.
