To the south of the mandapa (pillared hall) lies a shrine with an intricately carved, multi-shakha (vertical bands or architraves) doorframe. The doorframe contains niches adorned with Shiva and his manifestations, Matrikas and Ganesh. The lalatabimba (lintel) is covered in white paint, obscuring its details. In the garbhagriha (sanctum), a Shiva linga is placed.
The front view of the Mahakal Temple shows that the temple can be reached from the west. It has a small mukhamandapa (front porch) with a flat roof. The entrance to the mukhamandapa is adorned by sculptures of Ganesha and Bhairava on either side.
The mandapa (pillared hall) of the Mahakal Temple is a square, enclosed hall with simple stone walls, featuring pairs of pillars at the cardinal points and pilasters at the corners. In the center lies a platform with a Nandi statue. Adjacent to this, on the right-hand side, there is a small underground water passage. Above this passage, a raised platform can be accessed via a flight of steps. Notably, there is jali (lattice) work adorning this side of the mandapa.
The three-faced Brahma wears a jatamukuta (crown of matted hair) and carries a shruka (sacrificial ladle) and putaka (water vessel) in the upper arms, along with a kamandalu (water pot) and akshamala (rosary) in the lower arms.
Within the enclosure wall, there is a depiction of Chamunda, portrayed with multiple arms. Although the image has faded over time, some characteristics are still discernible. Chamunda is depicted holding a sarpa (snake) in her upper arms, a khatvanga (staff) in one hand, and a severed human head in another. Additionally, a human figure is shown to her left, attending to her.
