Abstract: Due to the rarity of the authentic
sources, of the late Kalachuri period, the study of these temples play a very
important and a vital role to fill the historical gap in cultural and art
history of Chhattisgarh. As the temples of the late Kalachuris show a clear degeneration in art and architecture; but it does not suggests decline in the
social condition and religious belief. The present paper is an attempt to
summaries the salient details one might look for in respect of the temples of
late Kalachuri period. We have tried to recapitulate the answers to our
original points of inquiry, diffused in this paper, by way of focusing on what
is significant in terms of findings and outcome. The excellent and marvelous monuments of Sahaspur,
Kawardha, Palari (Durg district),
Finqeswar, Khallari, Naqpura Gandai, Deurbija, Baled, Khapri & Dhamdha
of Chhattisgarh encourage me and even
paved the way for this study.
Key words: Temple Architecture, late Kalachuri
period.
