Porch Pillars
Simple square pillars at the front of the porch are sculpted in low relief. A panel on the shaft shows a group of men and women with luxuriant hairstyles, carved in a style reminiscent of early Buddhist sculpture. Below this is a row of krittimukhas regurgitating pearls, above is a half-lotus medallion. To the left can be seen the pierced screen that flanks the mandapa entrance.
