The beautifully carved and decorated temple porch is supported by two equally decorated posts. The whole is in gilded and lacquered wood. The temple is in painted and lacquered wood. The doors are double and richly enhanced with carved and engraved plaques in gilded bronze. The closure has a floral decoration, the hinges when they are decorated with a Lotus flower.
