TOURS OF THE SUPERINTENDENT AND THE ESTABLISHMENT DURING THE YEAR 1936-37. the places visited by him attention may be drawn to Kaḍalevāḍ on the banks of the Bhīmarathī with its dilapidated temple having, however, a fine raṅga- maṇḍapa with very artistic carvings and figures in its dome-like ceiling inside. This place was a great centre of religious and educational activities in ancient days and a Kaḷachurya inscription found here describes the village as a Ghaṭikāsthāna. Kaḍalēvāḍa-Kalkēri was another important place in ancient times having several mercantile guilds which maintained an educational institution with provision for the teaching of Nyāsa, Prabhākara, Rigvēda, Purāṇa and Vēdānta. Near the outer wall of the Śiva temple here which, from its style may be assigned to the 13th century A.D., is a beautiful sculpture in stone of a tiger attacking an elephant and itself being pierced by a man holding a dagger in one hand and a shield in the other.
