$ The figures of Deu岣穉 C膩ri峁嚹玸 are inserted in the four cardinal directions of the beki above r膩h膩s. These figures are the supporting elements of the amalakasi岣纺� of the mastaka. The mastaka of the vimana consists of beki, ama岣穉ka艣i岣纺�, khapur墨, ka岣穉sa, ayudha (trident) and dhvaja. The sanctum preserves Sivalinga as the presiding deity of the temple. This Linga is shown to the devotees once in a year. The sanctum including the Linga is filled with water throughout the year by a natural fountain. The water is finally discharged to the neighbouring P膩rvat墨s膩gara (tank) through an open channel. On the night of Pankoddh膩r Ek膩das墨 (3 days before Sivaratri), the 11th day of the dark fortnight in the month of Magha, all the water is bailed out and the divinity becomes visible. By which the thousands of devotees are enable to see and worship the Lord. This is looked upon as a miracle and is the cause of the great sanctity of the place. 15 Masonry steps are provided for approach towards the interior of the sanctum. According to M.M. Ganguly, there is nothing striking in the temple except the Lingam, which is always under water of a spring." The vim膩na has one doorway towards the jagamohana, which is invariably kept closed and the devotees peep through a window into the interior where the Lord of Universe dwells. The doorjambs of the sanctum are completely undecorated. The image of Gaja-Lak峁�m墨 is carved on the centre of the doorway lintel. The figures of Nandi and Bh峁沶gi are finely carved at the base of either side of the doorjamb. They are acting as the dv膩rap膩岣穉s of the main deu岣穉.
