Tower
An earlier version of the curved sikhara has fewer stories (three) separated by the usual ribbed corner elements. Central (ratha) projections on each face have diminishing triple gavaksas on each horizontal molding. A smaller ribbed amalaka finial has developed but not the large arch-shaped front projection. Verticality is less pronounced compared to later examples.
