Five water spouts, resembling a tiger, a ram, an elephant, and two makaras, placed next to a wall on individual, rectangular bases. A frog sits in front of the water spouts facing them, mounted on a shorter, circular base. An overhead lintel, mounted atop the wall behind the water spouts, depicts a kala.
