Light cottons are the recommended clothing for the summers and heavy woolens for winter.
The site has two temples . The larger one, Shiva-Avantishvara , is marked by massive walls some half a mile beneath the town on the outskirts of village Jaubror . The subsidiary shrines are to the rear corner of the courtyard. But the complex has, over the years, lost its grandeur and has been reduced to ruins, though it is still visited by the devout. The temples here have groups of figures of both sexes, engaged in drinking, making love, and other such things.
