- Description:
- A closer look at the stairs, leading to the mandapa, shows that the bottom stair, although lacking carvings, is made like the chandrashila (moon stone) found in ancient temples. The top two stairs were decorated with the original broken parts of the temple at the time of renovation. The pillars which are placed on both sides of the steps are similar to the pillars at the entrance of the temple complex.

- Description:
- The rear side of the temple faces the road. The rear portion of the garbhagriha has a jangha and shikhara. It is noticeable that the shikhara is plain and simple, unlike the jangha, indicating that the shikhara is likely a later renovated structure. The temple is surrounded by a boundary wall comprising broken parts and fragments of the temple. The present temple complex has various trees and plants inside it, evoking ancient descriptions that temples were often nestled in groves as it was believed that gods liked to reside in nature (groves).

- Description:
- The surviving shrine, known as the Mahakal Temple, presently consists of an open mandapa with modern steel railing, situated in front of the original garbhagriha. The temple can be reached by flights of steps which are flanked by carved pillars. The base of the mandapa is old, evident from the old vedibandha, which is refloored with modern tiles. There is a nandi (the bull vehicle of Shiva) in the mandapa, facing the main sanctum.

- Description:
- A closer view of an entrance on the north side of the temple premises. This entrance might not be the original entrance as there is a high possibility that the main entrance was located at the front and not to the side of the temple. But currently, this entrance serves as the main entrance with a metal gate, flanked by two carved pillars. On both sides of the entrance, broken fragments of the temple are arranged to form a boundary wall around the temple complex.

- Description:
- Details of the pillar (from inside the temple) flanking the staircase leading to the temple. The pillars depict purnaghata kalasha which is an auspicious motif and is mostly shown in temples regardless of regional stylistic variations. Above this kalasha, a manibandha is carved topped by a kirtimukha and the apex is carved with a triangular leaf motif.

- Description:
- The entrance gate to the Mahakal Temple, presently enclosed inside a boundary wall and thickly surrounded with flora, is now navigated through a metal gate followed by stairs leading to the surviving temple structures. It is likely that this gate once served as the main entrance, given its alignment with the garbhagriha.
