Adjacent to the inner stairways, Brahmani is depicted with three faces, seated on her pedestal. While her frontal face has sustained damage, the other two faces remain well-preserved. The right face displays a gentle smile. In her upper left hand, she holds a putaka (water vessel), while her upper right hand, although broken, likely once held a shruka (sacrificial ladle). The lower left hand grasps a kamandalu (water pot), and the lower right hand is extended in varada hasta (boon-giving gesture). Adorned with a broad necklace and various other ornaments, Brahmani is accompanied by her vahana (mount), which is visible at the bottom right.
