Central section of the vāhalkada (frontispiece) on the east side of the Kantaka Cētiya (probably added in the 6th-7th century CE). View of the stone friezes starting at the bottom with a row of elephant heads above the stone altar and with several other decorative friezes above them, including four prominent ones: a row of small "dormer windows" (present also in other similar structures), brackets with anima (makara?) heads separated by medallions (paterae), a row of sacred geese and, at the top, a row of ganas in various postures.
