The garbhagriha presently in its elevation consists of the original vedibandha and jangha. The vedibandha comprises various mouldings and the jangha has a bhadra (central offset) and karna (corner projections). The jangha on the right of the temple, as seen in the image, is devoid of any sculpture on the bhadra niche but the other two sides are carved with the figures of deities.
