Why go
The terrace is distinct from the enclosed temples nearby: its value is the extended public façade, built to face the royal square. Reliefs make the long wall readable at walking pace. Walk along the frontage rather than viewing one carved panel alone. The repeating elephants and projecting garuda figures reveal how the platform addressed the entire square.
What to look for
- Trace the row of elephants along the retaining wall.
- Look for garuda figures on the projecting sections.
- View the platform in relation to the open royal square.
Useful to know
- Walk along the frontage to see how the carved sections repeat and change.
- Pair it with the adjacent terraces while keeping the open square in view.
