The
lofty pillar standing at the south entrance of the enclosure with a
small seated figure of Brahmadeva on the top is called the
Kuge-Brahmadeva pillar. The figure of Brahmadeva is facing east. The
pillar originally appears to have had eight directions, but only a
few of them are now left. An inscription on the pillar commemorates
the death of the Ganga king Marasimha II which took place in 974
A.D. and the period of the pillar cannot therefore be much later
than that date.
