Description   
At each corner of its top storey is a carved little pagoda. Niches are cut on four sides of each storey to house statues on both sides of the niches and on the lower section of the pillar. The east, south and west walls as well as the two reveals of the window are 33 reliefs depicting stories of Sakayamuni's life from his birth to his enlightenment.
