The eastern pediment of the mukhamandapa’s (front porch) shikhara (superstructure) depicts a beautiful, seated figure of Shiva. The four-armed Shiva holds a trishula (trident) and a sarpa (snake) in his upper hands. In his lower left hand, he holds a kamandalu (water pot) and a pushpa (flower) in his lower right hand which is placed near his chest. Shiva is flanked by two female fly whisk bearers.
