The superstructure in bricks looks a little odd with heavy kumud moulding, repetetive use of shikhara and sala (barrel-shaped) forms, and nandis appearing on the superstructure rising rhythmically in tiers upto the square griva behind rich sculptural decoration on the cardinal slides. At the lowest level, the body ofd main structure has a richly variegated veneer – miniature reliefs at the base of pilasters, niches, panjara and makatoranas. The image of brahma standing under a canopy in a niche has a rare charm and poise. This slightly elongated image is flanked by images of devotees in niches.
