Porch and Shrine

The four friezes at the bottom (elephants, men-on-horses, scrollwork, and mythology) continue from porch onto the shrine. Above this the porch has two more panels of framed figures, separated by a band of scrollwork, and finally the pierced screen. The shrine on the other hand has yali and hamsa friezes, and above, a series of sculpted figure panels. The eave with lotus fringe is present on both porch and shrine.
