This is a side view of the Nandi pavilion which is at the entrance of the court that surrounds the Kailasanath. This pavilion is flanked by a tall monolithic ceremonial column, and the remains of a monolithic elephant. At the centre is the great assembly hall, leading to the main lingam shrine surrounded by subsidiary shrines. A pillared verandah encloses the entire complex. On the walls carved panels depict the different aspects of Shiva.
