One of the finished monuments, this temple is currently under worship.  A stucco image of Varaha has been installed in the garbagraham.  This must be a later addition.  A wall has been raised which covers the front of the mandapam and therefore we are not able to see the pillars and most of the roof from the outside.  Usually, a row of pillars divides the mandapam into two sections – the maha mandapam & ardha mandapam on the inner side.  In this mandapam, there are two rows of pillars.  In the first row, are four pillars and two pilasters with sitting lion base.  In the second row are two pillars. 
 

Gangadhara panel 
Siva is seen standing holding out a strand of hair to receive the descending Ganges.  Ganga is shown as a woman falling down, offering prayers to Lord Siva.  Siva is seen with four arms – main right arm in abhaya mudra (blessing) and the main left arm on his hips, weapons in his upper arms.

Pallava king

There is an inscription on the lintel reading sri-simhavinna-pottr-Athirajan ('The illustrious Simhavishnu-Pallava, Supreme King') in Pallava Grantha characters.  

Majority view is that it is Simhavishnu, the grand-father of Mamalla. But, one scholar suggests that it is Rajasimha and his queens. 

Gajalakshmi Panel 
Lakshmi is seated erect on a lotus.  She is seen holding lotuses in both her arms with her legs resting on the lotus.  There are four women, two on either side.  The ones closest to Lakshmi are holding pots ready for the holy bath. The other two women are holding flowers in their hands. There are two huge elephants on top.  The one on the left is in the act of squirting holy water on Lakshmi and the one on the right is ready to reach the pot. 
  
To the right of the Lakshmi panel is a Vishnu sculpture in a niche, standing on a lotus with four arms.  There are two devotees kneeling at his feet.  Outside the niche is the figure of Adisesha with five heads (snake’s hood) to Vishnu’s right. 
  
To the right of this panel is the garbagriham with two dwarapalakas at the entrance.  On the beam is a hamsa (swan) frieze.  On the rear wall is a relief panel of Varaha.  There are also the figures of Sri Devi and Bhu Devi in the shrine. A stucco image of Varaha has been installed.  This must be a later addition.

To the right of this is a panel depicting Goddess Durga.  Here the Goddess is in a graceful pose, with her right leg bent slightly at the knee and crossed behind the left. (In the other caves, we see Durga standing erect).  In her eight arms she holds weapons.  On either side are two standing devotees with weapons.  At her feet are two sitting devotees.  At the top we can see two ganas, and the face of a lion and a deer on either side.
