On the north side of the Falls are some small shrines of earlier date than the big temple on the south, but they are badly ruined. There is a little shrine, with antechamber, just at the end of the suspension bridge, which has Lakuḷīśa above the shrine door. Lying beside it are images of Sūrya with his boots, and Śiva with three heads (Plate CXXXVI). The ceiling has a nine-panelled slab with Mahākālī in the centre and goddesses in all the others, save one which contains Gaṇeśa. This temple faces east.
