The Shikhara (superstructure) of the Adinatha Temple is built in the Nagara style, albeit an abbreviated one. The mulshringa of the shikhara has a pratyangas or prati shikharas emanating from it. These are complemented by miniature shikharas at the base of the main shikhara. The shikhara is painted in white and the ornamentation details are defined with gold paint. The base of the cardinal faces of the shikhara has deep empty niches, similar to the shikhara of the Bhandasar Temple.
The ninth oval painting (in clockwise order) in the lower/outer circle in the ceiling of the mandapa (pillared hall) is difficult to decipher. It appears to depict a sleeping couple, with a snake near the leg of the man. Outside the haveli (mansion) which houses this couple, there is an armed figure that looks like a soldier or guard in uniform.
The fifth oval painting (in clockwise order) in the lower/outer circle in the ceiling of the mandapa (pillared hall) is the episode where Jinadatta Suri saved the life of an unwell child brought to him by two women. The episode takes place outside a haveli, probably near the place where the acharya (those who impart knowledge) is meditating. The acharya is shown blessing the child by placing his palm on the child’s head. The inscription reads, ‘Shri Jinadatta Suriji balak jivayo.’
Seen here is the jangha (wall) of the Suswani Mata Temple facing South. On the bhadra (central offset) is an in situ sculpture of Ganesha, framed in deep decorative niches. This image is flanked by two attendants on the intermediary projections and dikapalas (gods of the cardinal directions) on the corner projections of the wall. The devakosthas (niches) on the central and corner projections have small vyala (mythical composite figures) on the brackets.
The two pillars seen here belong to the original construction of the Suswani Mata Temple. The pillars have fluted shafts, at the centre are ghatapallava (vase with foliage) shaped components and the pillar capitals are shaped like a pot. The paint layers on the surface of the pillars make it difficult to understand the original form.
A side shrine of the Bhomiya Maharaja on the premises of the Suswani Mata Temple next to the sacred Kera tree. The Kera tree is believed to be the spot where Suswani Ma manifested herself and eventually stayed at the location of the present-day temple.
Ganesha sculpture in the devakoshtha (niche) on the bhadra (principal or central projection) of the south-facing wall of Suswani Mata Temple. Framed in a niche composed of two pilaster motifs surmounted by a pediment of gavasksha (dormer window) designs, the main Ganesha image is supported by another small Ganesha in a small frame right above its head. It is a seated, eight-handed image of Ganesha. Some of the visible attributes of the image are pasha (noose), ankush (bullhook), sarpa (serpent), bijapuraka (citron, symbolized as ‘seed of universe’).
A row of hero stones (memorial stones) is installed near the Shiva Temple in the Morkhana village. This temple is a little away, to the north of the Suswani Mata Temple. The hero stones have depictions of male figures mounted on horses, sometimes along with a standing male figure in namaskar mudra (gesture of offering and devotion). Some of these are inscribed with dates from the 16th century CE.
Seen here is the main entrance of the Suswani Mata Temple which was made from the donation given by Shri Punamchandaji Surana, son of Dhanpatsinha. This mandapa (pillared hall) has been restored several times, the latest one being carried out in the last decade. A plaque providing information of the doner is visible above the main entrance.
