At each end of the portico, there are chambers and at the back, there is a Linga shrine. A threshold and five low steps lead into the central Linga-shrine that has a depth of about 16 ft and width of around 13 ft. There is also a circumambulatory path around it.Near the east end, a gigantic statue of a four-armed doorkeeper with two attendant demons is situated at the back of the portico. A standing figure holding a trident is placed at the northern end, whose left hand rests on a defaced demon-figure. The western wall depicts the eight Mother Goddesses called Ashta-Matrikas, who are flanked by the sons of Shiva, Ganesha and Kartikeya. While all of the Matrikas are depicted with their respective mounts, some of them are also depicted with children. Another chapel with sunken floor and plain interior is situated at the eastern end of the portico.
