Over the antechamber door are Brahmā, Śiva and Viṣṇu, Śiva being in the centre. On Brahmā's right is Gaṇeśa, whilst on Viṣṇu's left is Kārtikeya. The makaras, with their arabesque tails, form the usual frame about them. On each side of the antechamber door is a panel of perforated screenwork. There is no dedicatory block over this doorway; and, though the shrine doorway has the block, there is no image upon it. There are no human figures about these doorways; they are comparatively plain. Within the shrine a liṅga has been installed.
