Perey, BROWN. Indian Architecture, (Buddhist and Hindu periods, Bombay, Second Edition).
P. 63. The architectures of Aihole, majority and Brahmanical and a few are
Jain.
P. 65. A temple having the appearance of being one of the last to be built at Aihole, and which is proved by an inscriptions recording its erection in A. D. 634 is the Jaina temple of Meguti. The building art by this time has made some progress.
P. 77. The adifice of the Brahmanical type normally faces East for the entry of the Early morning rays which Symbolises the entry of the God into temple. This system of orientation is not strictly adhered to in the temples of Jains which sometimes faces north.
P. 90. Of the excavated temples on the Ellora Site now remains only the final group. The productions of the Jains probably begun about 800 A, D. and carried on continuously for the following century.
P. 133. Khajurāho group of temples represents a combined sacerdotal impulse of a marked tolerant and comprehensive nature of different beliefs several of them being Sivaite, other Vaişņavite and some Jaina.
P. 136. The Jaina temples grouped together on the south-east site or Khajuraho are six in number with the architectural character differing little from Brahmanical examples.
P. 139. The most complete example of the Osia Group is a temple dedicated to Mahävira as it consists of a Sanctum, a closed hall, and an open Porch immediately in front of which is an ornate torana or gateway.
P. 145. Temples at Sunak, Kanoda, Kesara, Gulmi, Sejakpur and Mount Ābū.
P. 147. As is not uncommon in Jaina temples the exterior of the Vimala has no special architectural character.
