To the south of the mandapa (pillared hall) lies a shrine with an intricately carved, multi-shakha (vertical bands or architraves) doorframe. The doorframe contains niches adorned with Shiva and his manifestations, Matrikas and Ganesh. The lalatabimba (lintel) is covered in white paint, obscuring its details. In the garbhagriha (sanctum), a Shiva linga is placed.
The front view of the Mahakal Temple shows that the temple can be reached from the west. It has a small mukhamandapa (front porch) with a flat roof. The entrance to the mukhamandapa is adorned by sculptures of Ganesha and Bhairava on either side.
The mandapa (pillared hall) of the Mahakal Temple is a square, enclosed hall with simple stone walls, featuring pairs of pillars at the cardinal points and pilasters at the corners. In the center lies a platform with a Nandi statue. Adjacent to this, on the right-hand side, there is a small underground water passage. Above this passage, a raised platform can be accessed via a flight of steps. Notably, there is jali (lattice) work adorning this side of the mandapa.
Seen here is another face of the sarvatobhadra (open from all sides), which features a depiction of a Ganesha icon. The four-handed image is depicted in a sitting posture, although the specific attributes of the icon are difficult to identify. The niche containing the Ganesha icon is topped by a pyramidal shikhara (superstructure). The Ganesha icon is characterized by long elongated ears, and the trunk curls up to rest on a bijapuraka (citron fruit).
The hero stone slabs feature depictions of human figures in the upper half, while the lower half shows faint traces of inscriptions. Though illegible, closer examination suggests the inscription were likely written in the Devnagari script. The content of the inscription remains unknown, but typically inscriptions on hero stones detail of the deceased and the time of the craving. Palaeographically, the script can tentatively be placed within a broad timeframe from 12th to 15th centuries CE. However, due to the deteriorated condition of the stone slabs, no definitive conclusions can be drawn.
In the second small panel in the hero stone, positioned just below the row depicting the hero, stand two female figures with folded hands in namaskar mudra (salutation gesture). Their upright posture is emphasized by their drapery consisting of a decorated lower garment. The female figures represent celestial damsels believed to have arrived to escort the hero to heaven.
