On the left of the uttaranga (entablature) above the lintel of the garbhagriha (sanctum sanctorum), Brahma is depicted with three faces and four arms. His upper hands carry a shruka (a sacrificial spoon) and a pustaka (manuscript), while his lower hands hold a kamandalu (water carrier or pot) and display varadaksha (a hand held in the boon-giving gesture, with a rosary in it).
