The jangha (wall) of the garbhagriha (sanctum sanctorum) has a broad floral scroll that runs across all three walls and divides the wall into upper and lower parts. On the rear wall, this band is topped by two beautiful chaitya arch motifs. At the apex of the arch, a grassamukha is shown emitting the flowers which are decorating the chaitya arch.
