At the front of the each doorway, one can see two elephant statues guarding it. The four corners of the temple’s courtyard have four statues of Lokeshwara. The upper storey of the pagoda has a large prayer wheel and a golden image of Lord Buddha. There is a small shrine facing the temple which has a self-arisen small stupa. The monastery is built with some fine woodcarvings and extravagant works. Except during winters, one can also find several tortoises crawling around the courtyard to guard the temple.
