The temple is composed of a portico (pronaos) and a cella (naos). The colonnade surrounds an inner masonry structure, the "cella," which is divided into two compartments. The Romans favoured pseudoperipteral buildings with a portico offsetting the cella to the rear. A single Corinthian column stands free, centered within the cella. Claude Poinssot discovered a crypt beneath the cella in 1955. The 9th century statue of Ganesha resides in western cella (room) of Prambanan Hindu temple. The base of the cella still features alcoves for three statues. It also had a cella and a vestibule. In classical temple architecture, the shrine may be synonymous with the cella. In its interior was a small temple with a cella built on a shallow podium. The widest span of a temple roof was across the cella, or internal space. The ceremonial clay statue of the goddess stood on a base within the cella. The base of the cult image inside the cella supported three cult statues. There was a single cella paved with mosaics. She has an independent cella in the Pandharpur temple complex.
