Labyrinthine Dattatreya Temple-Discovered while excavating.

[Guest guest]

 

However, another depiction of Scimangada was recently rediscovered during restoration work at the temple of Dattatreya in Bhaktapur (shown above). Unlike the Classical labyrinth employed at the royal palace, this takes the form of a curious swastika/labyrinth hybrid, 71 cm. square, painted on a wooden panel set into the ceiling of a large meeting room on the first floor of the building. This, too, shows the complex defences of the city with warriors, chariots and elephants parading around the walls. A similar swastika-labyrinth pathway is also to be found, laid out on the ground in the form of 500 or more votive lingas, within the enclosure of the temple of Pasupatinatha, also in Nepal.
