There are 59 small temples in the round passage. The structure of the Lavanyasahi temple is of matchless carving and fascinating. The delineation of Krishna’s life, groups of dancing and singing girls and the carvings of the derani - jethani niches are very distinct. There are fifty - two niches in the walls of the passage round the temple. For pilgrims and tourists, the specimens of carving inside the temple are and will remain wonderful subjects for research.
