Description
Image house located outside the boundary wall southeast of Thūpārāma: The edifice at left is considered a mandapa, a porch-like area to enter the image house behind it. It has a flight of steps with guardstones, balustrades and pillars (missing their capitals) and at right a smaller entrance with a stone doorway. At the rear is the image house with some well-preserved pillars of special interest.
