These entries include all references extracted from this article, including works about architecture, origins and other subjects. They do not all support destruction claims. Bibliographic capture does not mean that the original work was read. Some references cite another bibliography entry rather than a URL.

The sourced dossier identifies which accounts support each published claim. Original-language editions, offline books and inaccessible articles remain marked for further assessment.

  3. 3. ↑Ram Chandra Kak proposed that the temple may be the Rilhaneshwara temple, built in 1135 CE by Rilhan, a minister of Jayasimha.18Debala Mitra rejects this saying that the temple does not correspond to any mentioned in the Rajatarangini and dates it to the 10th century or earlier.16 Susan L. Huntington also disagrees with the 10th or 12th century dating for the temple, instead suggesting an earlier date,13 as does Robert Fisher.12

  4. 4. ↑Mitra dates it to the 10th century or earlier based on stylistic features of the sculptures;16 Huntington suggests a probable date of c.8th–9th century CE based on the style of sculpture in the temple;19 and Fisher states that the structural style of the temple indicates it dating to the Karkota dynasty, possibly within the rule of Lalitaditya (c.724 CE–760 CE).12 John Siudmak dates the temple to 'not earlier than' 8th or 9th century CE based on architectural features of the building.20
