Exterior view of an entrance to the Durga Mandir Temple. The lintel above the door is intricately carved with birds and geometric patterns. The building facade surrounding the door frame features reliefs of animals and Hindu gods in square frames arranged in a grid pattern. Bands of geometric patterns separate the reliefs, and statues line the upper edge of the wall. A figure sits on the ground at the half-open door looking inside the building.
