- Description:
- The interiors of the garbhagriha (sanctum sanctorum) of the Chaunsath Yogini Temple are plain and minimally ornamented. It is square on plan with a trabeated ceiling. The temple is not actively used for worship now. But originally, it must have been dedicated to Goddess worship which can be speculated based on the pedestal which has the depiction of a goddess sculpture on its front side.

- Description:
- Cascading down a central mulashringa (main spire), there are several small miniatures of shikharas (spires), also sometimes called shikharikas, all of which together form the multi-spired shekhari shikhara. At the bottom of the central spine on each elevation can be seen a depiction of Jain deities. The surface of the shikhara aedicules has intricate carvings made up of chaitya (dormers) meshs. Each of the aedicules, both small and large is topped with small ribbed discs which are known as amalakas.

- Description:
- Seen here is the north-facing elevation of the Chaunsath Yogini Temple. At the centre of a high plinth, there is a single shrine temple of which only the garbhagriha (sanctum sanctorum) has partially survived. Originally, the temple must have had a garbhagriha, an antarala (vestibule and antechamber) and a mandapa (pillared hall) with attached mukhamandapas (front porch). There are two varieties of sandstone used in the construction of this temple.

59. Sculptures on the Jangha (wall) of the subsidiary shrine of the Someshwar Mahadev temple complex
- Description:
- This is a closer view of the north-facing jangha (wall) of the subsidiary shrine in the southeastern corner of the Someshwar Mahadev temple complex. The wall of the pancharatha (five vertical projections on each side) shrine is very ornate. The bhadra (central projection) that faces west has the depiction of Surya. The other projections have depictions of dancers, apsaras (celestial damsels), and dikpalas (deities for cardinal directions). The presence of an image of Surya holding lotuses in the upper hands, on the exterior wall indicates that the shrine must have been dedicated to Surya.

- Description:
- View of the fallen mandapa (pillared hall) and the entrance to the garbhagriha (sanctum sanctorum) of the Chaunsath Yogini Temple. The layout of the mandapa can be discerned based on the hewn foundation stones of the exterior walls and the pillar positions. It must have been a semi-open type of mandapa, with openings on the west, south, and north sides. The remnant portions of the interior walls of the mandapa indicate that these must have been plain in comparison to its interior.
