- Description:
- One of the ascetics is adorned with a sacred rudraksha mala and a rudraksha armband. The rudraksha (dried stones or seeds of the Elaeocarpus ganitrus associated with Shiva iconography) holds special significance as the sacred symbol of Lord Shiva. It means ‘tears of Shiva.’ According to a legend, once when Shiva was performing penance, tears shed from his eyes and he fell to the ground. Eventually, these transformed into seeds that sprouted into a tree. Thus, this visual depiction of a Shaiva ascetic forms a profound association between the devotee and their lord.

- Description:
- In an alternative portrayal of the ascetic, he is depicted standing, facing slightly to his left. He has a jatabhara (matted hairdo) atop his head and a lengthy moustache. The features of his face have eroded, but two notable ones are his elongated earlobes and the rudraksha (dried stones or seeds of the Elaeocarpus ganitrus associated with Shiva iconography) armband. One of his hands clasps a pot while his fingers are delicately positioned atop it. Notably, his phallus is exposed in this depiction.

- Description:
- On the northern wall, there is a depiction of a surasundari (celestial damsel) an elaborate hairdo, fashioned into a bun. She stands tall and slender, bedecked with substantial jewellery. One of her hands is fractured, while the other rests near her exposed reproductive organ. It is worth noticing that both ascetic and surasundari are shown with their revealed genitalia, they both represent different natures and stand for opposite symbolism.

The child is depicted holding her breast, symbolizing the bond of maternal care and sustenance.

- Description:
- The surasundari (celestial damsel), presently faceless, stands gracefully with her voluptuous body adorned with exquisite ornaments, on the eastern wall of the garbhagriha (sanctum sanctorum. Although her right hand is raised and damaged, she holds a fine scarf in her left hand near her belly, wrapping it around her arms. Her lower body is veiled by a fine translucent garment. A small creature is depicted moving upward on her left leg. The surasundari vividly embodies sensual beauty, in stark contrast to the tranquil and composed posture of the ascetic. There is a kalasha (water pot) placed at the bottom near her feet with foliage, symbolizing abundance and growth as does the female body.
