The entrance gate to the garbhagriha (sanctum sanctorum) of the Sadashiva Temple features plain shakhas (vertical bands), while the bottom part depicts river goddesses Ganga and Yamuna, as well as Shiva dvarapalas (door guardians). Ganga is shown on the proper right, holding a water pot, standing on her vahana (mount), a makara (crocodile). Yamuna is shown holding a water pot and standing on her mount, a kachhapa (tortoise). The dvarapalas are depicted holding weapons.
The temple features architectural elements such as khura, kumbha (pot-shaped), kalasha (a pitcher), and kapotapalikas (cyma recta moulding), upon which a plain jangha (wall) rises. Above the jangha, a varandika (moulded parapet) is placed which supports the shikhara (superstructure), adorned with bricks marked with chaitya arches.
The shikhara (superstructure) exhibits an integrated jala of chaitya arches but the beauty of the shikhara lies on its frontal face which depicts an arrangement of gavaksha (dormer window) arches topped by a kirtimukha (face of glory), along with a portrayal of elegantly carved makaras (crocodiles) and majestic faces of elephants on the sides. Additionally, floral motifs and shankhas (conch shells) are also used to decorate the frontal façade of the shikhara.
The mukhamandapa (front porch) of the Mahishasuramardini Temple, has two pillars at the front and two pilasters at the back. At the top of the shaft, an abacus is placed, carved with divine figures and female attendants. The mukhamandapa leads to the antarala (vestibule), which further leads to the entrance door of the garbhagriha (sanctum sanctorum). The door is carved and depicts Maheshwari, Brahmani, and Vaishnavi on the lintel.
In the Baroli group of temples, remains of an intricately carved doorframe can also be found, very close to the torana (ornamental gateway). The doorframe depicts divine figures which include Shiva, Brahma and Vishnu, along with river goddesses, navagrahas (nine planets), saptamatrikas (seven mother goddesses), and dvarapalas (door guardians).
The second cluster of the temple complex includes the Ghateshwar Temple, Mahishasuramardini Temple, Vamana Temple, and Sadashiva Temple. Additionally, a detached torana (ornamental gateway) and doorframe are found within the complex. The complex also houses multiple Shiva lingas arranged in rows and a kund (water tank).
The entrance to the Ganesha Temple is through the antarala (vestibule), a small passage featuring a gateway adorned with pilasters. Along the east and west walls of the antarala empty niches are visible.
The temple complex has an ornate torana (ornamental gateway). While the arch of the torana is broken, the pillars are still well-preserved. Each pillar depicts three female figures and one male figure on the lower octagonal part of the shaft. The upper portion of the pillars is adorned with loops and chains of bells.
The lintels above the shakhas (vertical bands) of the Sadashiva Temple depict a dancing Shiva at the centre accompanied by a musician and a dancer. Goddesses are shown on the extreme ends. Shiva is portrayed as ten-armed, holding an akshamala (rosary), khatvanga (staff with a skull), damaru (drum), snake, kapala (skull), and trishula (trident), with his front two arms making dance a gesture. The goddesses are depicted as four-armed, wearing a jatamukuta (a crown of matted hair). They hold an akshamala and kamandalu (water pot), while their other hands hold their respective attributes.
The temple faces the east and has a mukhachatushki (four-faced entrance platform) on the east side and a garbhagriha (sanctum sanctorum) which is of the sarvatobhadra (open on all four cardinal directions) type, meaning the temple can be entered from all four directions.
