‘The temple (at Amarnāth) itself faces the west but the maṇḍapa or antarāla—the hall of the shrine—has also doors to the north and south. Each of the three doors has a porch (mukha-bhadra), approached by four or five steps, and supported by four nearly square pillars, two of them attached to the wall.’—(The temple of Amarnath, *Ind. Ant.*, Vol. III, p. 317, c. 1, last para.)
