- La description:
- To the east, there is the main garbhagriha (sanctum sanctorum) accessible via the antarala (vestibule or antechamber). The dvarashakha (doorframe) of this sanctum is crafted by featuring multiple sections and adorned with sculptures of davarapalas (door guardians) and women holding kalashas (pitchers). Although the lalatabimba (lintel) of the doorframe displays a seated figure, its condition is not well preserved. Positioned above the lintel, the entablature showcases Natesha at the center.

- La description:
- On the steps and platform of the Mandakini Kund, several inscriptions are discovered in various states of preservation. These inscriptions are written in the Sanskrit language using the Devanagari script. A thorough examination of these inscriptions reveals valuable information, including the name of the temple, Mahakal, and the designation of the reservoir as Mandakini. Additionally, they provide details such as the date of the devotees' visit and their community affiliation. The inscriptions mention the worshipers' practice of visiting the Mahakal Temple and bathing in the Mandakini Kund. Dating from the 13th to the 15th centuries CE, some of these inscriptions specifically mention members of the Kayastha Mathur community.

- The kumbha (pot) molding of the vedibandha (basal mouldings) stands out due to its depiction of divine figures within the niches, featuring gods and goddesses like Kubera, the deity associated with wealth. Notably, the top of the kumbha is adorned with a chaitya arch, a feature commonly found on kapotapalika (cyma recta) moldings. Below the kumbha, there is a band showcasing kirtimukha (face of glory) motifs, while above the kumbha, the molding of kalasha (pitcher) is intricately carved with ratnapatta motifs.
