After this, the work on the Vellard could be completed without a hitch. The main doorway of the temple is richly ornamented, leading to the temple complex. The celestial appearance of these images, enhance the spiritual aura of the temple. It is believed that the Goddess fulfills all the wishes of her true devotees.
