The doorframe is divided into panchshakhas (five vertical bands). At the bottom, the river goddesses Ganga and Yamuna, are depicted along with a Shaiva dvarapala (door guardian). The shakhas (vertical bands) display flower bands and moving outward the shakhas are carved with single male figures, mithunas (amorous couples), putrajaya (leaf motif), and vyalas (mythical lion-like hybrid creatures).
