Description
From the vestibule a doorway leads into the Hypostyle Hall, which has eight columns with closed capitals. Beyond this are three Chapels, dedicated respectively to Mut (left), Amun (middle: with two lattice windows in the longitudinal walls) and Khons (right). In each chapel the King is depicted sacrificing to the sacred barque of the deity. Adjoining the Chapel of Khons is another small room; the Chapel of Amun has a room on either side; and beside the Chapel of Mut is a staircase.
