- Descripción:
- This is the north-facing lateral transept that is attached to the mandapa (pillared hall) of the Mahanaleshwar Temple. The plinth of this transept had a chamber with a narrow opening to it. This plinth had four pillars that supported the cantilevered roof of the transept. The inner pillars on the plinth are flanked by perforated jalis (latticed windows). The use of these chambers in the basement cannot be ascertained. But they are commonly found in the temples of this region and time period. These possibly served as spaces for meditation.

- Descripción:
- Pictured here are the details of the bhadra (central projection) from the north-facing elevation of the Mahanaleshwar Temple. The devakoshtha (niche) on the central bhadra projection is a deep niche with an image of eight armed Chamunda inside. The devakoshtha is made up of two ornate pilasters that have icons at the base. These pilasters stand on a pedestal which is fashioned like a kapotali (cyma recta) and supports an udgama (pediment) above. This udgama is made up of a mesh of gavakshas (chaitya or dormer window arches) arranged like a pyramid. The east and west-facing sides of the devakoshthas have attendants. Chamunda has a skeletal body, stands on a dead human body, and holds a kapaal (human skull), khatvanga (staff with a skull), trishula (trident), naag (serpent), damru (hourglass-shaped drum), etc. attributes. She is biting the finger of her upper left hand.

- Descripción:
- Seen here is the samvarna variety of pyramidal shikhara of the Mahanaleshwar temple. Each of the small aedicules is composed of small discs that descend like a pyramid. Since the aedicules have bell-like finials, the type of shikhara is known as ghanta samvarna.

- Descripción:
- The entrance to the garbhagriha (sanctum sanctorum) is decorated with an ornate dvarashakha (architrave or vertical band). It consists of panchashakhas, meaning five vertical divisions on either side of the dvarashakha. The threshold at the centre bottom is decorated with floral motifs. Above the lintel beam is a row of miniature niches, called rathikas that have engravings of divinities. All the vertical divisions of the dvarashakha have figures carved. These consist of depictions of river Goddesses, apsaras (celestial damsels) and Shaiva attendants. The attendants are carved on the most protruding shakha called the stambha shakha. The lalatabimba (centre of the lintel) has an image of Lakulisa, indicating that the temple was affiliated with the Pashupata Shaiva tradition.
