The Ghateshwar Temple has a rangamandapa (open type of pillared hall used for ceremonial rituals) on the eastern end of the east-west axis, which is larger than the mukhamandapa (front porch). The rangamandapa also known as Shringara Chaori has low base mouldings on which large number of pillars stands, supporting the phamsana shikhara (pyramidal superstructure).
The shikhara (superstructure) of the garbhagriha (sanctum sanctorum) is made in the latina (vertical mono-spire) style. The bhadra (central offset) and pratibhadra (offset flanking bhadra) of the shikhara are profusely carved with chaitya (dormer windows) arches and the karna (corner offset) is decorated with chaitya arches and amalakas (crowning member of the latina shikhara shaped like a myrobalan fruit).
