ବଇତାଳ ଦେଉଳର ବାହାର କାନ୍ଥରେ [[ଶିବ]], ଶକ୍ତି ରୂପରେ [[ପାର୍ବତୀ]], ନାନାଦି ଶିକାର ଅଭିଯାନ, ବଣୁଆ ହାତୀ ଧରା ଓ କାମଦ ଦମ୍ପତିଙ୍କ ମୂର୍ତ୍ତିମାନ ଦେଖିବାକୁ ମିଳିଥାଏ ।
The outer walls are encrusted with panels of Hindu deities, mostly [[Shiva]] and his consort [[Parvati]] in her [[Shakti]] form, hunting processions, capturing of wild elephants and the occasional erotic couples.
ଜଗମୋହନ ଉପରେ ଦେଉଳର ଆଗ ପଟରେ ଦୁଇଜଣ ''ଚୈତ୍ୟ''ଙ୍କର ଝରକା ରହିଛି - ତଳଟିରେ କାରୁକାର୍ଯ୍ୟକରା ([[ସୂର୍ଯ୍ୟ]])ଙ୍କ ମୂର୍ତ୍ତି ରହିଛି, ଯାହା [[ଉଷା (ଦେବୀ)|ଉଷା]] ଓ ପ୍ରତ୍ୟୁଷରେ ଆଲୋକ ବିତରଣ କରୁଥିବାର ପ୍ରତୀତ ହୁଏ ଓ ଆଗରେ [[ଅରୁଣ]] ସାତଟି ଘୋଡ଼ାଚାଳନା କରୁଥିବାର ମୂର୍ତ୍ତି ରହିଛି ।
The facade of the Deula above the left of the ''Jagamohana'' is dominated by two ''Chaitya'' windows— the lower one having a beautifully carved figure of Sun God ([[Surya]]) noted for its facial expression, with [[Usha_(goddess)|Usha]] (Dawn) and Pratyusha shooting arrows on either side and with [[Aruna]] in front, driving a chariot of seven horses.
The medallion in the upper ''Chaitya'' window houses a 10-armed [[Nataraja]] or dancing [[Shiva]]. In front of the flat roofed ''Jagamohana'' is a stone post relieved with two Buddha like figures seated in '''Dharma-Chakra-Pravartana mudra'''.
