This marks the arrival into the sanctum sanctorum core of the performance. The temple has smaller shrines with its own sanctum. The Nandi mandapam has a monolithic seated bull facing the sanctum. The mandapa has four sections, two of which are aligned with the temple sanctum. It consists of a flat roofed square sanctum with a portico and four pillars. The relief on the doorway lintel of the sanctum shows Vishnu. This alignment integrates the routes that devotees follow as they journey into the innermost sanctum. There is a vimana on the roof of the sanctum. The mandapa links to an enclosed "pradakshina patha" for walking around the sanctum. Instead, there is an image of Nandi housed in the "sabha mantapa" facing the sanctum. Small shrines consist simply of a "garbhagriha" (sanctum) and a porch. On the lintel of the sanctum is Gajalakshmi. Juhani Otso Berg is a member of the Inner Sanctum of the Templar Order. On the outer walls of each side of the sanctum are niches. It also dominated the inner sanctum in amount of ornamentation.
