Sabhamandapa Entrance
Several subsidiary structures stand within the temple compound. This is a partly-collapsed mandapam on the south. Its entrance is surrounded with the usual sequence of carved frames: kumbhapanjara (overflowing pot), kalpalata (rounded vines), a pilaster in several sections, and finally a column of rearing yalis. A Siva dvarpalaka and salabhanjikas are positioned at the base on either side. Above, at the centre of the lintel is a diminutive shrine with deity. |
