Basdeo Temple Interior at Assuri
A dark standing image occupies a narrow doorway framed by carved borders and small surrounding figures. The caption identifies the interior of the temple of Basdeo, or Vasuki, at Assuri in the Chinab Valley. The frontal photograph makes the ornamented entrance part of the sacred image’s setting. It appears among the religious sites documented in C. F. Oldham’s The Sun and the Serpent.
