Abstract
Description
This is richly decorated. On each side of the uprights of the door stands a dvarapala armed with a club. In the background, by the open door, the deity can be seen, in this case Krishna playing the flute. Above the door the lintel is decorated with carvings showing the same deity. Stalactites adorn the lower part of the lintel.
