| Description |  |
The eastern portico has a central stairway guarded by two door-guardians. The stairway leads to an intermediate storey where a corridor runs around the central mass. Two tiers of windows along walls make the interior bright and airy, but the walls are bare of painting except traces in the western portico. Two stairs built into the thickness of the walls provide access to the terrace above the eastern portico, from where an external flight of stairs leads to the upper storey. Here a huge image of the Buddha is seated on a masonry throne. A futher flight of narrow stairs built into the thickness of the walls leads to the terraces above the upper storey.
