Seti wearing a blue crown to emphasize his military prowess, burns incense over an offering

However, when Ramesses II added the outer sections of the temple, most of these doorways were filled in. Therefore, the second hypostyle hall with its 36 squat columns that are carefully aligned to give access to the chapels, became their vestibule. The first two of the three rows of columns have lotus bud capitals, while the last row is without capitals, but sits upon a high platform. The carved reliefs in this part of the temple were completed during the reign of Seti I, are are some of the finest to be found in any Egyptian temple. The quality of this artwork extends beyond the careful depiction of major figures within the scenes to even the smallest details of minor items and hieroglyphs. We find scenes depicting Seti before various gods, performing sacrifices and presenting the image of Ma'at.Most of the scenes are very formal, but on the right wall, they are striking. Here, we find a scene of Seti I before Osiris, holding a censer and pouring a libation from a flower-bedecked triple ewer. In the next scene we find Seti before the entrhoned Osiris in the presence of Ma'at and Renpit. Behind stand Isis, Amentet, goddess of the west, and an ennead of other funerary deities. There is also depicted an ornate djed symbol.
