Its ornate platform (adhishthana) has carvings of creepers, flowers, lotus petals, elephants, warriors, vyalas, and other figures.
The projections of the lower portions of the adhishthana contain figures of various deities, including Venugopala, Surya, Vishnu, Lakshmi, Ganapati, and Yoga Narasimha.
The central passage of the gateway features carvings of dvara-palakas (male door-keepers) and female figures standing under creepers.
Another mandapa is located in the north-east corner of the courtyard: it was probably used as a shrine dedicated to the nine planets (navagraha-mandapa) or a site to celebrate a festival of the main deity.
[5] It has figures of deities (including Vishnu and Surya), rishis (sages), a woman, animals, and dwarfs playing musical instruments (such as drums, cymbals and flute).
[6] The upper portion of the beams has figures of male and female dancers, which suggests that the maha-mandapa may have been used as a stage for dance and music performances in honour of the deity.
[7] The mukha-mandapa is a slightly rectangular hall measuring 11.18 m X 9.14 m. It has finely carved pillars with lotus corbels at the centre; a stone slab with female figures dancing as a group; brackets with vyala figures; and line drawings (including those of lion, lotus flowers, and monkeys).
