Inside the two smaller aediculae above: Bodhisattvas seated on wicker lattice stool, the one on the right in pensive attitude, with turban, garland in the left hand (maybe Avalokitesvara); the other on the left with cross ankles, without turban (?), with attribute in the left hand (?) (maybe Maitreya); at the sides of both the Bodhisattvas: devotees in anjalimudra.
In the balconies: devotees, some of them in anjalimudra
On the base: the seven Buddhas of the past and Maitreya (on the right), with devotees
Wealth of architectural decorative details: gandharan-persepolitan columns with base supported by winged atlas, decorated shafts, decorated zoomorphic capitals, and of the mixed type, with gandharan-corinthian capitals; decorated brackets with leonine protomes; volutes of the pseudo-trefoil arch in the form of peacock heads
