The talajangha is carved with a series of khakhara Mundi pilasters and bandhana has three mouldings without any carvings. The upara jangha is carved with a series of pidhamundi. The baranda has five mouldings and Gandi is plain except udyota Simha in the central Raha and dopichha Simha at above the Kanika paga. The doorjambs are carved with three vertical bands of puspa sakha, Nara Sakha and lata sakha. At the base of the jambs there are two pidha mundi dvarapala niches that house unusual kinds of doorkeepers of male and female figures. At the lalatabimba there is a Gajalaxmi panel sitting in lalitasana over a lotus pedestal. While her left hand is holding the lotus the right hand is in varada mudra. The deity is flanked by two full blown lotuses. Inside the Sanctum, the eastern wall is carved with two large sized pidha Mundi niches, which was originally enshrining the presiding deity, which is now missing.
