Column Capital
These interior columns have seated lions at the base (reminiscent of Pallava architecture), fluted shafts and complex capitals consisting of a square portion with men at the corners holding garlands joined at the sides below krittimukhas. Above this is a ribbed pot-shaped element and at the top are square brackets supporting the rafters. These have purnaghatas carved on faces lotuses carved on the undersides. On the top front and back are large krittimukha faces.
