202 EARLY BUDDHIST CAVE-TEMPLES.
the columns are of the usual Nasik pattern, but without animal
figures above: over them the frieze projects considerably, and is
carved in the style of Cave IV. at Nasik,—the ends of the rafters
projecting on the lower fascia, and the upper being carved with rail
pattern. Over this is a recess some 2 or 3 feet deep, with the
Chaitya arch over it, but without any carving.
The hall is 33 feet deep, and about 12 feet wide ; but at the back
stands a mass of rock over 8 feet wide by 5% thick, with a squatting
figure roughly sketched out on the front of it. This mass is
very rotten behind, and at the left side of it is a well of excellent
water.
The other caves here are small and uninteresting.
