Above the sanctum is a second-storey sanctum and vestibule, the second level having been converted into a Basadi. Below the kuta, shala, and panjara elements are carvings of Jina images, lay devotees, and animals. The sanctum contains an image of Parshvanatha, which Jinadevanna claimed to have commissioned. The vestibule is an open hall with two Brahmakanta-type pillars aligned above the vestibule below. The third level is square and ornamented with engaged Brahmakanta pillars. Above it rises an eight-sided tower decorated with lotus petals and crowned by a circular finial. Steps at the southeast lead upward, and a semicircular moonstone marks their foot.
