U-shaped rounded stones assembled on the parapet 公开 Deposited

Tablet-like plaques are placed on the adhisthana (facing east). These plaques depict various types of flora and fauna as well as hybrid creatures like kinnara, vyala, and makara. The plaques are tightly arranged, richly detailed, and deeply carved, creating contrasting shadows that make the artwork look three-dimensional in sunlight. U-shaped rounded stones are assembled on the parapet, but their position or purpose in the original temple is unknown. The central artwork of the plaque is in the form of a circular medallion surrounded by a foliage motif. The plaques are separated by squat pillars which have a square base, an octagonal shaft, and a square capital. The pillars are decorated with ardha padma (half lotus) and kalpa lata (creeper) motifs.
