The ceiling of the mandapa (pillared hall) of the Kumbheshvar Mahadev temple. It is composed of concentric rings that form a dome. The inner circles of the ceiling are designed with floral cusps, and the outer rings have figural ornamentation. The ornamentation and details of the sculptures are partially lost because of the bat infestation on the stone fabric.
Seen here is the interior of the mandapa (pillared hall) of the Jain Temple. The mandapa is astylar in plan meaning that the central portion does not contain any pillars. The pillars are lined along the corners of the mandapa. The entrance to the garbhagriha (sanctum sanctorum) is right in front of the main north-facing entrance to the temple. The west and east sides of the mandapa have relief transepts. The stone interiors of the temple are heavily damaged owing to a bat infestation.
To the west of the main temple, there are remains of many other shrines which might have been part of a larger Jain complex. Most part of the superstructure of these shrines are dilapidated. These dismantled portions can be seen in the vicinity of the temple. The only noteworthy remains are damaged by colossal images of Jina. The temple plan consists of a mandapa (pillared hall) and a garbhagriha (sanctum sanctorum) in plan.
The mandapa (pillared hall) of the Mandaleshwar Mahadev Temple is square on plan. It has lateral wings to its south and north sides. Seen here is the exterior of the mandapa, the south-facing lateral wing. This wing is a semi-open space. Its two front pillars support a protruding roof. The exterior walls of the mandapa do not have any sculptures. At the jangha (wall) level, there are two decorative bands: the first is a foliage motif and the second is a band of kirtimukhas (face of glory).
The Jain Temple consists of a mukhamandapa (open porch), mandapa (hall) and a garbhagriha (sanctum sanctorum) in plan. The garbhagriha has a multi-spired shekhari variety of shikhara (spire). Seen here is the west-facing elevation of the temple exhibiting its intricate carving details, especially on the wall. The temple is built in a variety of sandstone but the jangha (wall) is in a different polished stone variety, that looks similar to the granite variety.
Seen here is a closer view of the partially preserved structure of the central shrine of the Someshwar Mahadev Temple. The remnants of the shikhara (superstructure) are ornate. At the base of the centre of the shikhara, there is a rectangular block that acts as the surasenaka of the shikhara. Although partially preserved, it is evident that the superstructure of the garbhagriha (sanctum sanctorum) of the central shrine was of the shekhari (multi-spire) variety. The mulashringa (main spire), pratyangas (minor limbs) and angas (major limbs) of the shikhara have intricate gavaksha (dormer windows) ornamentations.
Extant pillar from what was likely a torana (decorative arch) that must have been part of the archway on the northern side of the temple. The pillar is intricately carved based on a multi-moulding plinth in which the base has a row of elephants, or the gajathara (elephant band). The lower shaft of the pillar has three sets of sculptures, and the topmost part of the shaft has two brackets. The torana must have been attached to the bracket remains on the pillar.
This is a renovated structure, in which the sandstone pillars of the semi-open porch and the architrave of the garbhagriha of the temple are from the medieval period. The figure of Hanuman enshrined in the temple also belongs to the 12th century CE as per the inscription found on its pedestal. This temple complex gets its name from the life-size figure of Hanuman in the temple.
Seen here is a colossal sculpture of a Jain Tirthankara, standing in kayotsarga (dismissing the body) posture, found in the ruined shrine to the west of the central temple. The inscriptions at the base of the free-standing statues ascribe it to the 16th century CE. The sculpture is carved out of black stone, mostly granite variety.
View of the subsidiary shrine from the panchayatana (main shrine with four subsidiary shrines in all four directions) setup of the Someshwar Mahadev Temple. Not all these shrines have survived, except for the shrines to the northwest and southeast of the main temple. This is the shrine to the northwest of the main temple. The four side shrines in the complex are single shrines dedicated to different deities, probably Vishnu, Ganesha, goddess, and Surya. Of the shikhara on these shrines, only a few aedicules of the base have survived.
