Description

A lintel is the term for the horizontal beam that spans the top of a doorway or entryway in temple architecture. It serves both structural and decorative purposes, and it typically contains ornate carvings or reliefs that depict religious or mythological scenes. Sometimes the sculptures on lintels represent the function of the temple or the deity worshipped there. Lintel panels are adorned with intricate patterns, motifs, and decorative decorations that showcase the craftsmanship and talent of the artisans who created them. These decorations accentuate the grandeur and beauty of the temple's entrance.
