- Description:
- View of the interiors of the mandapa (pillared hall) of the Suswani Mata Temple. Though the exteriors of the entire mandapa are renovated, the interiors are survived with four pillars which form part of the original plan of the temple. These four pillars are in front of the garbhagriha (sanctum sanctorum) entrance of the temple. The mandapa is also linked to the exterior of the mulaprasada (main shrine). One can see the pradakshina path (circumambulatory path) that runs along the garbhagriha.

- Description:
- Seen here is a sculpture of a female on the south-facing (inner) side of the pillar in the northwest corner of the mandapa (pillared hall) of the Suswani Mata Temple. It is said that there used to be an inscription below this sculpture which is probably not visible now because of the later added paint. This inscription was supposed to be the sole epigraphical evidence dating the construction of the temple in the 10th century CE. A sculpture carved in deep relief (probably a female) is shown sitting on a pedestal. The sculpture is two-handed only and is shown wearing a mukuta (crown).

- Description:
- The painting in the inner/upper circle in the ceiling of the mandapa (pillared hall) likely depicts the story of Chandakaushika Nag and Mahavir. According to the tale, as Mahavir travelled through a forest, a snake named Chandak blocked his path. However, Mahavir instead of being scared of him stood at the place firmly. Chandak bit the Tirthankara, yet the latter remained calm, intending no harm to the snake. This story intends to teach everyone the importance of controlling anger and cultivating compassion. Mahavir has a divine halo behind his head, painted in golden colour. A temple dedicated to the snake is shown at the background of the painting. The inscription from this painting is not entirely legible, but it certainly includes the name of Mahavir Swami.
