The frontal face of the shikhara (superstructure) reveals the placement of two half spires flanking the main spire. At the base of the spire, a surasenaka (pediment made of chaitya dormer) adorns the structure, while a sculpture depicts a simha (lion) pouncing upon an elephant, adding a touch of regal splendour to the architectural composition.
