The halls are carved with an overwhelming array of sculptures on
the giant granite pillars.
An image of Garuda (the eagle god) was originally enshrined within
its sanctum.
Garuda, according to the Hindu mythology, is the
vehicle of lord Vishnu.
Thus the Garuda shrine facing the
temple’s sanctum is symbolic.

grid patterns.
