The

and
an
enclosure

Its

possessed
a
deep
central
niche
flanked
by
two
smaller
and
shallow
niches
(Perquin
1927b:

A
2.40m
long
vestibule
leads
to
the
cella,
which
is
2.50m
square.
Three
secondary
shrines
face
the
main
temple.
They
all
follow
the
same
pattern:
they
face
west
and
are
roughly
3.40m
square,
with
a
projection
on
the
western
side.
More
or
less
5.5m

are
visible
remains
of
a
gopura
and
an
enclosure
wall.

On
the
sides
of
the
staircase
leading
to
the
main
temple
are
carved
two
male
figures.
Several
free-standing
sculptures
can
still
be
found
on
the
temple
ground:
one
Durgā
(originally

near
the
northern
side
of
the
temple,
Bosch

one
Ganeśa,
one
