West Wall

The cardinal niche (ratha) of the west wall has a pierced screen with a 16-armed Siva Nataraja image with supplicans, dancers, and musicians below. Below this image is a horizontal molding with embracing mithuna couples below. Pilasters frame the niche, with purnaghata bases and capitals and krittimukhas at the centre.
