- Description:
- Situated within the Bijolia temple complex, right next to the Mandakini Kund and behind the Mahakal Temple, stands the remarkable Undeshwar Temple. It is one of the mature examples of the Bhumija variety of temples. It has a central projection on each of the four faces, the quadrants so formed filled with miniature spires in vertical and horizontal rows right up to the top. The name Undeshwar originates from the fact that the inner sanctum of this temple is located about 2.4 meters below the floor level of the assembly hall.

- Description:
- The Hazareshwar Temple is comparatively a small temple in the Bijolia temple complex which comprises a mandapa (pillared hall), a shallow antarala (vestibule or antechamber), and a garbhagriha (sanctorum). It rests upon a deeply set vedibandha (basal mouldings), upon which the jangha (wall) is situated, supporting the shikhara (superstructure). Dedicated to Shiva, the Hazareshwar Temple is noted by the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) for its architectural style resembling Bhumija (earth-born) architecture. An inscription discovered within the temple's mandapa indicates its dedication to Pashupata Shaivism.
