Description:

The southern side of the sukanasa (antefix above the roof of the kapila) is carved with a distinct scene depicting a miniature balcony where three beautiful women are shown conversing with each other. Above the balcony, an udgama (pediment of interconnected chaitya dormers) is placed, depicting a four-armed Goddess seated on a lotus seat, flanked by two attendants.
