The surviving sanctuary of the early 6th-century Dashavatara Temple, Deogarh has a typically fine doorway, and large relief panels on the other three walls. These are now external, but would originally gave given on to the covered ambulatory. Though majestic, these show the sturdiness of early Gupta sculpture is yielding to a softer, more delicate and ultimately weaker style. The row of men beneath the sleeping Vishnu have stylized poses, probably imitated from the theatre.
