In overall design, Sokkuram might be said to have three sections. From the outside, the first is an entrance foyer, broader than it is deep, with overall dimensions of approximately 6.4 by 4.2 meters. Next there is a relatively narrow, 3 meter long vestibule that ends at two thick pillars with lotus-design bases. Beyond the pillars is the main rotunda itself, made of blocks of granite, 9 meters high at the dome's highest point.
