Tank and Baths
At the south-east side of the Svayambhu enclosure, this is a square tank, probably associated with the Siva Temple. It has steps with sculpted balustrades at the centre of each side. A row of identical bathrooms surrounds the tank, each with a raised platform at the centre, and a decorated slab at the entrance. A curved water channel from each room leads to a larger main channel. At one corner of the bath lies an ornate but broken ceiling panel. At its centre is a lotus with double rows of petals contained within an eight-sided star. This is surrounded by a circle of hamsas. Around this are eight lotuses each within eight-sided stars. This in turn is framed eight figural scenes and a final perimeter of lotus buds. |
