(5) ‘The temple itself consists of the usual three parts: an open maṇḍapa on a base, .... with a double row of pillars on the three exposed sides, and roofed by a large ribbed dome standing on the twelve inner pillars; on each of the three outer sides it has a large projecting porch. Beyond this is the principal maṇḍapa ... in the inner corner of this maṇḍapa are two rooms. ... Three doors with richly carved thresholds lead from the hall into the shrine.’—(Ahmedabad Arch., Burgess, *Arch. Surv.*, New Imp. Series, Vol. XXXIII, p. 29.)
