2. Niches depicting figures of Shiva, Ganesha and a goddess

Description:: A closer view of the lintel of the dvarashakha (door jamb) of the mulaprasada (main shrine) of the Neelkanth Mahadev Temple. This lintel has five rathikas (small niches) with depictions of Shiva at the centre, flanked by Ganesha on the right and goddess on the left. The rathikas in the furthest corners are not easily accessible. Since the central rathika of the lintel has a Shiva image, the lalatabimba (key stone of the lintel) has an image of Nandi.

4. View of the rear elevation of the southern shrine

Description:: This is the view of the rear elevation of the southern shrine of the triple-shrine Neelkanth Mahadev Temple. The exterior walls of this shrine have completely collapsed and were replaced at a later point with incongruously added wall portions. In rebuilding these walls, architectural members of the original temple have been repurposed haphazardly.

10. A loose and damaged sculpture of Nandi
