- Description:
- The latina shikhara (mono-spire superstructure) of the side shrine of the Triple-shrine Temple still has two bhumi khandas (tiers) on its south-facing elevation. All the latas (bands) of the shikhara are composed of combinations of gavaksha (dormer window) designs. The east-facing side of the temple has a protruding shukanasa (projection over the entrance of the sanctum) which is connected to the main shikhara and acts as the superstructure of the mandapa (pillared hall) of the temple. The corner bands of a latina shikhara are called venukosha. This is made up of tiers of diminishing sizes. Each of these tiers is separated by a flat ribbed disc known as the amalaka.

- Description:
- Seen here are the details of the latina shikhara (mono-spire superstructure) of the side shrine from the Triple-shrine Temple. It consists of a broad band as the madhyalata (central band), which is made up of a mesh of gavaksha (chaitya dormer motifs) stacked up in an ascending order. As the shikhara tapers upwards, the chaitya dormer motifs diminish in size. The base of the shikhara is also made up of protruding moulding along with a decorative recess. The bands flanking the madhyalata are thinner and made up of half the designs of the chaitya dormer.
