Tower
The curved sikhara is five-storeyed, the levels marked by ribbed elements at the corners. A complex pattern of gavaksa motifs fills each level of the projections at the centre (rekha) and sides of each face. The front of the tower has a large horse-shoe-shaped projection. A large ribbed amalaka crowns the composition.
