Description: The three rows of pillars on either side of the approach to the Buddha statue in the interior of the image house would possibly have served as supports for a gallery made of timber. A tall doorway is at extreme left. The remains of the walls reach a height of 17 meters (55 feet), but the vaulted dome itself is missing.
