Note 98 — Chapter II · THE CHAULUKYAS OR SOLAṄKIS (a.d. 961–1242)
Reading edition
It is interesting to know that the present battered sea-shore temple of Somanátha, whose garbhágára or shrine has been turned into a mosque and whose spire has been shattered, is the temple of whose building and consecration the above details are preserved. This is shown by the style of the architecture and sculpture which is in complete agreement with the other buildings of the time of Kumárapála.98
