The eaves mark the last course of a *Mandovara*. Above it rises *Sikhara*. At the level of the first course are found on three sides of the temple three images enclosed in niches (*Rathikāyukta Bimba*). Projecting above it are the *Uruśringa* projections and in the four corners are four small *Andakas* also called *Kūṭas*. Surmounting the *Sikhara* is the *Āmalasāra* and on it at the top is the *Kalaśa*.
