The train station consist of a wooden sala-style pavilion and is flanked by two large statues of elephants, one in silver, the other in gold, akin to the silver and gold trees that in the past were offered as tribute by vassals in order to indicate loyalty.

 

Inside is a statue of the venerated monk seated in a chair with his right hand held up in a blessing attitude and under which worshippers will take place to receive merit when they come to pray and pay their respects.
