This intricate stonework is a masterclass in Kalinga architecture. At its center is the iconic 24-spoked wheel, representing the hours of the day and the cosmic cycle. The wheel is flanked by:

Apsaras and Deities: Celestial beings and figures in prayer poses, carved into the upper tiers.

Gaja-Simha: The traditional "Lion-on-Elephant" motif on the sides, symbolizing the victory of spiritual power (the lion) over worldly obstacles (the elephant).

Elephant Frieze: A rhythmic procession of elephants along the base, representing strength, stability, and the foundation of the earth.
The warm, earthy tones of the sandstone give it an ancient, "traditionally rich" feel, reminiscent of the 13th-century Sun Temple at Konark.
