The superstructure of the southern garbhagriha (sanctum sanctorum) is shekhari in style i.e., the central latina spires with rows of half spires added on either side. It comprises a mulamanjri (principal spire), uruh shringas (subsidiary spires leaning against the main spire), and shringas (miniature shrines). Divine figures adorn the shikhara's surface.
