Niche Pediment
The pediment is in three tiers each containing niches separated by miniature pilasters. Partial arches flank these tiers with a complete chaitya arch above. Inscribed within this is a similar smaller candrasala. Flying gandharva couples flank this composition. Below another series of niches and pediments are interrupted by three blocks depicting gandharvas and a kneeling elephant.
