History & significance

A brick Shiva temple at Konch in Gaya district, dated to about the 14th century, with a heavy curvilinear nagara sikhara over seven-faced outer walls. Cunningham and Beglar recorded it for the Archaeological Survey in 1872–73, when the tower still carried a cylindrical pinnacle; a Dashavatara panel and images of Vishnu, Hara-Gauri, Ganesha and Surya stand in the premises.
