- Description:
- The entrance of the antarala (vestibule or antechamber) of the Sitaleshwar Temple is distinguished by its four pillars that feature carvings that significantly differ from those of the mandapa (pillared hall), a later addition. The decorative patterns and carving style evoke similarities with the artistic style seen in Ajanta paintings. These pillars showcase intricate carvings of the purnaghata kalasha, from which beautiful foliage emerges, an auspicious motif that symbolizes abundance, growth, and prosperity.

- Description:
- Chandrabhaga is well-known for its artistic temples, with the Sitaleshwar Temple being the most prominent one. It is an east-facing temple. Despite having been damaged during an invasion, efforts were made to restore and repair the temples. The surviving portion of the Sitaleshwar Temple holds considerable importance, featuring a square garbhagriha (sanctum sanctorum), antarala (vestibule or antechamber), and a mandapa (pillared hall).
