Male deity identifiable as a dikapala on the eastern wall of the Garbhagriha Public Deposited

On the right corner of the rear or eastern wall of the garbhagriha (sanctum sanctorum), there is another male deity identifiable as a dikapala (deity of the cardinal directions). The four-armed deity, like others, has been subject to damages, with his face entirely erased and three of his arms broken. The well-adorned dikapala is depicted holding a trishula (trident) in his upper right hand. Seated at the bottom is a bull, indicating that this figure may be Ishana, often portrayed holding a trishula with a bull as his vahana (mount).
