This is the pillar capital of the octagonal shaft pillars of the mukhamandapa (front porch) of the Neelkanth Mahadev Temple. The circular shaft ends in a four-sided bracket with bharavahaka (load bearer) sculptures. Just below the capital are broken elephant heads that must have supported a torana (arched gateway).
