At the rear of Shiva Temple 1, depictions of surasundaris (celestial damsels) adorn the walls of the garbhagriha (sanctum sanctorum). They are presented standing gracefully, holding a flower stalk in one hand and grasping the edge of the scarf with the other. The rhythmic composition is achieved through the flexed postures, flowing scarves, and curved flower stalks.
