The main entrance into the interiors of the Jain Temple is framed by a beautiful dvarashakha (architrave or door jamb). The lower portion of this dvarashakha has attendants flanking the entrance opening while the upper portion has a row of deities depicted in relief niches. The flooring attached to the main entrance has an ornate chandrashila (halfmoon motif or moonstone) beautified with floral buds.
