Closer view of the shikhara (superstructure) of the mandapa (pillared hall) of the Shiva temple. This shikhara is of the ghantasamvarna (bell roof) variety of a pyramidical nature. It is made up of several small ghantikas (bells) that have chaitya dormer motifs on their pedestals. These aedicules are arranged in such a manner that they appear cascading from top to bottom.
