The upper portion of the balcony, called Candrāvalokana or ‘beautiful look out’ has its ceiling supported by squat pillars, differing in diameters. Their shafts (stambha) rise from the seat. They are round towards the top. The capitals, (bharaṇa), a series of widening rings, are round, whereas the squarish bulk of the bracket capitals (śīrṣa) restores straightness to the walls of the Candrāvalokana.
