The interior of the temple is perfectly plain, excepting the shrine door which is decorated, which, like some of the cave doorways, has a band of little panels, with pairs of small figures in them, running down either side of the doorway. Some of these figures are rather suggestive of indecency. The interior of the shrine has been totally wrecked, portions of the *linga* and the paving of the floor lying about in great confusion. This has been due to treasure hunters who expected to find valuables buried beneath the image.
