Smaller statues of the royal children (princes with the King, princesses with the Queen) flank the larger ones. The doorway leads into a square hall supported by six square piers. The sides of the piers facing inwards towards the aisle have been carved into the form of sistra with heads of the goddess Hathor. The entrance hall is decorated with two scenes of Ramesses II smiting his enemies, accompanied by Nefertari. This type of scene is usually found as decoration of the façade, but due to the unusual nature of the temple has here been placed inside (as also in the Great Temple). The remainder of the scenes in this hall are well-executed depictions of standard types of offering and ritual. Three doors give access to a narrow hall. An unusual scene depicts the coronation of Nefertari by the goddesses Hathor and Isis. Two statue groups may originally have been placed in this room. The sanctuary has a large statue of Hathor in the form of a cow emerging from the wall, protecting a small figure of the King in front of her (as in the Hathor chapel of Tuthmosis III at Deir el-Bahri). The wall reliefs show Ramesses II worshipping himself and Nefertari (who in this temple was identified with a local form of Hathor). The relief work throughout the temple is of good quality (considering the poor sandstone) with rather attenuated figures. The coloring used is predominantly yellow, which adds to the delicate effect.
