- Description:
- This is a closer view of the jangha (wall) of the subsidiary shrine in the northwestern corner of the Someshwar Mahadev temple complex. The wall of the pancharatha (with five vertical projections on each side) shrine is very ornate. The central bhadra (central projection) that faces west has a depiction of the Trivikrama form of Vishnu. The other projections have depictions of dancers, apsaras (celestial damsels), and dikpalas (deities for cardinal directions). The inclination of Vishnu imagery on the exterior wall indicates that the shrine must have been dedicated to Vishnu.

- Description:
- Seen here are all the extant structures from the Hanuman Garhi temple complex. Starting from the left, one can see the gateway that must have been the original entrance of this temple complex, followed by several small shrines. The seventh shrine, seen towards the centre, has a shikhara (superstructure) in brick, likely added at a later date than the original construction. These are followed by three important structures from the complex, a ruined Shiva Temple, a Devi Temple, which is locally known as Chaunsath Yogini Temple, and the Neelkanth Mahadev Temple. In the foreground of all these structures is the kunda (water tank). The Neelkanth Mahadev Temple is the largest in this complex. This temple is likely to be dedicated to Lakulisha worship.

- Description:
- View of the garbhagriha (sanctum sanctorum) interior of the Someshwar Mahadev Temple. The walls and ceiling are plain. Presently, the object of worship in the garbhagriha is a Shiva linga (aniconic representation of Shiva), which appears to have been kept here at a later date. The back wall of the garbhagriha has a low-relief empty niche.

- Description:
- View of the side shrine from the panchayatana (main shrine with four subsidiary shrines cardinal to the main temple) setup of the Someshwar Mahadev Temple. Not all these shrines have survived, except the shrines to the northwest and southeast of the main temple. This is the shrine to the southeast 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 (superstructure) on these shrines, only a few aedicules of the base have survived.

- Description:
- A closer view of the east jangha (wall) of the Kumbheshwar Mahadev Temple. The wall scheme is similar to the two north and south sides of the temple, with depictions of apsaras (celestial damsels), ascetics, and dancers on the intermediate and corner projections. The bhadra (central projection) has an image of Chamunda. The image of Chamunda is shown here portrayed with a skeletal body, six-handed, and a scorpion on her stomach. Below the image is a supine human figure. Except for a damaru (small two-headed drum) and a khatvanga (staff with a skull), the other attributes of the Goddess are broken.

- Description:
- Seen here are numerous architectural elements like pillar remains, shikhara (superstructure) portions, and plinth mouldings that were found in the vicinity of the panchayatana (main shrine with four subsidiary shrines in each cardinal directions) Someshwar Mahadev temple complex. All these elements must have formed part of the original temple structure but fell apart later. All these remains have been accumulated on a platform to the west of the temple complex. The several shikhara remains indicate that the mandapa (pillared hall) of the temple must have had a ghanta samavarna (bell roof) variety of shikhara. Broken parts of the shekhari (multi-spire) shikhara of the mulaprasada (main shrine) are also found in these remains.
