The entrance of the garbhagriha (sanctum sanctorum) of the Mandaleshwar Mahadev Temple is marked by an ornate dvarashakha (door jamb). The pedya (lower section of the dvarashakha) has depictions of dvarapalas (door guardians) and river goddesses. The dvarashakha has an attached chandrashila (moon stone) motif on the floor.
Seen here are the scattered architectural fragments in the Jain temple complex consisting of several architectural members along with a Jina sculpture seated in padmasana (lotus pedestal). It is likely that all these architectural and sculptural remains originally formed part of the Jain temple complex. Since the central shrine of the Jain temple is well preserved, the fragments of the wall with floral ornamentation might have been part of the side shrines in this complex.
The main entrance into the interiors of the Jain Temple is framed by a beautiful dvarashakha (architrave or door jamb). The lower portion of this dvarashakha has attendants flanking the entrance opening while the upper portion has a row of deities depicted in relief niches. The flooring attached to the main entrance has an ornate chandrashila (halfmoon motif or moonstone) beautified with floral buds.
Closer view of the basal mouldings of the Jain Temple which show a plain moulding at the bottom followed by a curved moulding, a slender kani moulding, a band of kirtimukhas (face of glory) known as graaspatti, kumbha (pot-shaped) moulding, kalasha (a pitcher) moulding and finally two kapotali (cyma recta) mouldings. All these mouldings are beautifully crafted but do not have much surface ornamentation. The kumbha has a band of diamonds running all across the temple.
A closer view of the east jangha (wall) of the Kumbheshwar Mahadev Temple. The wall scheme is similar to the south elevation of the temple, depicting apsaras (celestial damsels), ascetics, and dancers on the intermediate and corner projections. The bhadra (central projection) has an image of Natesha. The image of Natesha in the dancing posture shown here is six-handed, holding attributes like khatvanga (staff with a skull) and Naga. At the bottom, there are two musicians.
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.
