A Shiva linga (aniconic representation of Shiva) is there at the centre of the garbhagriha (sanctum sanctorum) of the Kaner-ki-Putli Temple. Notably, the yonipatta (womb-shaped base) of the Shiva linga is square, deviating from the typical circular shape.
The Kaner-ki-Putli Temple is elevated on a tall vedibandha (basal mouldings). Some of the base mouldings are partially obscured by the ground due to the restoration carried out recently. These mouldings comprise kapotapalika (cyma recta), kalasha (a pitcher), grassapatta (a band of kirtimukha or face of glory), and patta (band), adorned with jala (checkered) carvings, from the bottom to the top. Positioned above these mouldings is a kumbha (pot), intricately carved with deities and a ratnapatta (diamond band). Beyond the kumbha, there are carvings of kalasha, antarapatta (recesses between mouldings), and kapotapalika.
On the southern wall of the garbhagriha (sanctum sanctorum) of the Kaner-ki-Putli Temple, there is a male figure (on the left) with an intricate hairstyle, a lengthy beard, and a moustache. He wears a short dhoti (a loose piece of clothing to cover the lower half of the body) and is adorned with various pieces of jewellery. The figure is playing a small drum fastened with a belt that can be seen on his shoulder. Adjacent to him stands a bejeweled deity whose face and arms are damaged. Additionally, a bull is depicted at the bottom.
There is a depiction of Nirutti (one of the deities of cardinal directions) with four arms in a niche on the southern wall of the garbhagriha (sanctum sanctorum) of the Kaner-ki-Putli Temple. The four-armed deity stands with a shield in his upper left hand and a human skull in his lower left hand. Unfortunately, his right arms and face are damaged. Nirutti is depicted nude with a damaged, erect phallus, and he sports a distinctive high-raised hairstyle. Notably, he is adorned with jewellery made from a snake. At the bottom of the niche, there is a figure (possibly a devotee) with their legs raised backward in the air and folded hands.
In one corner of the rear or eastern wall of the garbhagriha (sanctum sanctorum), there is a depiction of Indra but his face and right arms have been damaged. In his upper left hand, he holds an ankusha (bullhook), while in his lower left hand, he is holding a kamandalu (water carrier or pot). The deity is accompanied by an animal. Despite the broken face, a closer examination of the animal's leg and foot confirms it to be an elephant—his mount Airavata.
The southeast profile of the Kaner-ki-Putli Temple exhibits the elevation with the vedibandha (basal mouldings) and jangha (wall). The latter displays the projected and recessed sections, embellished with figurative decorations. The shikhara (superstructure), however dilapidated, is of the Bhumija style.
The kutastambhas (vertical rows of miniature shikharas or spires) on the surviving sections of the shikhara (superstructure) have square-shaped stambhas (pillars) with decorative motifs. Positioned above these stambhas are the kutas (miniature shikharas), with the lower ones featuring intricately carved chaitya arch (dormer window) jala, while the upper ones remain plain. These kutastambhas are distinctive elements of the Bhumija shikhara.
On the northern wall of the garbhagriha (sanctum sanctorum), there is a finely carved depiction of a surasundari (celestial damsel). She wears an intricate bun as her hairstyle and stands tall and slender, adorned with jewellery. One of her hands is damaged, while the other rests on her thigh. Alongside her, there is a portrayal of an ascetic on the same wall. He stands slightly turned to his left, sporting a jatabhara (braided hairdo) on his head and a lengthy moustache. Although erosion has obscured the features of his face, the elongated earlobes and a rudraksha (dried stones or seeds of Elaeocarpus ganitrus) armband are noticeable. One of his hands grasps a pot, and the other delicately positions fingers atop it. Notably, his phallus is exposed in this depiction. It is worth observing that both the ascetic and the surasundari are depicted nude, symbolizing different natures and representing opposing symbolism of mundane and spiritual.
At the corner of the northern wall of the garbhagriha (sanctum sanctorum), there is a depiction of Kubera. The damaged depiction portrays Kubera wearing a karand mukuta (tiered crown) and other ornaments. In his lower left hand, he holds a kamandalu (water carrier or pot), and in his upper left hand, he clutches a money bag extending behind his head. It is worth noting that in this representation, Kubera is not accompanied by his vahana (mount). Instead, a pot is placed at the bottom of the niche, symbolizing wealth and prosperity.
The second shakha (vertical band) of the doorframe of the garbhagriha (sanctum sanctorum) is carved with naga (serpent) figures. These nagas are depicted with human faces and bodies, each adorned with three hoods over their heads, all shown with hands folded in reverence.
