The antarala (vestibule or antechamber) of the Sitaleshwar Temple provides access to the garbhagriha (sanctum sanctorum) through an intricate panchashakha (five vertical bands) entrance. These shakhas or vertical bands display floral patterns and foliage. The lower sections depict images of Shiva on both sides along with representations of river goddesses, Ganga and Yamuna.
