The antarala (vestibule or antechamber) of the Kaner-ki-Putli Temple is a shallow space. Its floor is entirely adorned with a chandrashila (moonstone) carving outside the door of the garbhagriha (sanctum sanctorum). The side walls of the antarala lack niches or any other form of decoration. However, on the left side, one can observe an extended holder piece (probably for lighting diyas, or oil lamps) on the wall.
