The front wall of the cella had a broad
central portal flanked by two stories of
niches - 2m on either side. The building has
been much destroyed in recent times and
was built over into a public meeting place.
However 4 columns of the facade, 3 at the N.W. angle
and one in the middle of the west side are
in situ with the lower part of the cella walls
on the N.W. and S.

The details are particulary [generis|sic- sui generis] The columns
are tall and broadly spaced - thin bases are
quite classic. The capitals however have a style
of their own, those of the front and sides being
higher than those of the rear colonnade. The cap
is formed of a single row of broad leaves most of which
is the volutes adorned with the rope pattern
the centre of the outer face contained a bust in relief.

The entablature too is sui generis The architrave
of the porch consists of a broad member
with three narrow [naos] above it - this lower member
is adorned - not with the meander as we have
seen in some of the later classic temples but
but with a relief pattern of oblique squares and
rosette.
