front of it. It is badly ruined. The extant mandovara contains
several noteworthy sculptures, among which the sculptures of
Siva in the tan岣峚va pose and Varaha are best preserved. The
mandapa preserves some of the pillars and kak峁Ｄ乻anas but its
superstructure is lost. The Sikhara over the garbhagriha also is
extinct. The four small shrines too are in dilapidated condition.
There is a Kirtitora峁嘺 in front of the temple. It is in a
good condition, though some of its components especially the
arches below and above the lintel are extinct. The bases of
the shafts and capitals of the pillars are highly carved,
similarly the lintel also is adorned with several niches for
gods and goddesses. This tora峁嘺 adds itself to the few available
tora峁嘺s of Gujarat. 66
