East Wall Niches The niches to the left of the entrance are surmounted by triangular pediments flanked by flying gandharvas. The space between the niches also has a sculpture above which is a smaller pediment. The bases of the niches have horizontal moldings the lowest of which takes the form of six square panels, representing the ends of wooden rafters, a carry-over from earlier wooden architecture.
