Sanctuary entrance

Square pillars inside the temple at the sanctum entrance have chauri-bearers standing on elephants. A ceiling panel above has a large lotus with three rows of petals. Above the Garuda lintel are three miniature shrine-niches surmounted by candrasala pediments and fluted bolster-shaped elements. Between these are projections with images of ganas and dancers, also below arched pediments.
