Guest guest Posted June 16, 2003 Report Share Posted June 16, 2003 In one of the US museums I once saw a section of wood structure of a temple transported from Gujarat. The temple was originally made of wood, but it was rebuilt in stone, some of the wood structure escaped destruction. Does anyone know which museum it is in?

That might be what you have in mind. Thanks, that is the one! Somehow I was looking at wrong muesums. The related information can be seen at (entire URL should be one line) http://www.metmuseum.org/explore/publications/pdfs/asia/divided/g- Visuals-2.pdf page 6: Architectural Ensemble from a Jain Meeting Hall from Patan, Gujarat 16th cent.
