Mandaleshwar Mahadev Temple is entered through a mukhamandapa (front porch). This is the view of the interiors of the mukhamandapa. It has two dwarf walls flanking the main entrance with two pillars on the outer side and two pilasters on the inner side. There are traces of kakshasanas (seat backs) on the mukhamandapa side walls. All these seatbacks are lost.
View of the ceiling of the mandapa (pillared hall) in the Someshwar Mahadev Temple. The ceiling consists of concentric circular rings made of cusps or fractals. The innermost ring features brackets adorned with sculptures. All concentric rings of the ceiling are profusely carved with sculptures, floral motifs, and geometric patterns.
Closer view of the vedibandha (basal mouldings) of the Chaunsath Yogini Temple that are made up of a graaspatti (band of kirtimukhas or face of glory), gajathara (a band of elephants), narathara (a band of human figures), narathara, kumbha (pot) moulding, kalasaha (a pitcher) and kapotali (cyma recta). The most ornate moulding in the entire plinth is the kumbha, which has one central deity, usually a depiction of a goddess, flanked by mithuna (amorous couples) figures or ascetics.
A closer view of the entrance into the garbhagriha (sanctum sanctorum) of the Jain Temple is defined by a simple dvarashakha (door jamb) which has been renovated with bricks. The garbhagriha of the temple is currently empty. The original object of worship is not known and currently too the temple is not under worship.
The Jain Temple has a rectangular porch or a mukhamandapa (front porch) along the north-facing principal entrance of the temple. It has four temples on the front side that are complimented by four pilasters on the back wall. The pillars of the porch have slender columns, square in plan and have bharavahaka (load bearer) brackets.
The ceiling in the mandapa (pillared hall) of the Shiva Temple is made up of plain concentric circular rings that are offset from each other. At the centre of the dome is a small lotus medallion. There are eight pillars that support this domical ceiling. The brackets of these pillars have bharavahaka (load bearers) sculptures.
These are the remains of pillars at the east-facing entrance of the Someshwar Mahadev Temple. The two broken pillar bases must have formed the torana (decorative arch) as an entrance gateway to the complex. The complex had at least two such toranas, one to the east of the temple and another to the north.
The mandapa of the Someshwar Mahadev temple is astylar, i.e., bereft of pillars in the centre. It has half-open lateral transepts on either side that allow light to enter the interior.
Seen here is the north-facing principal entrance of the Jain temple complex. The temple is situated on a raised platform which can be accessed by a flight of steps. The entrance is marked by pillar remains on four corners which must have supported a semi-open pavilion that was connected to the raised platform of the temple complex.
Several architectural and sculptural remains, which must have been part of the original Chaunsath Yogini Temple, are scattered nearby. A large portion of these remains is comprised of the ghantasamvarna shikhara (bell-roofed superstructure) that would have been part of the mandapa (pillared hall) shikhara.
