The west-facing elevation of the Suhaveshwar Temple is seen here. The main shrine has a vedibandha (basal mouldings), followed by a jangha (wall). The temple has a shekhari (multi-spired) variety of shikhara (superstructure). The shikhara is composed of a row of small aedicules with a shukanasa, the front of the shikhara, of diamond motifs at the centre. Emanating from these is the mulashringa (main shikhara) of the temple. This is also made up of different divisions, angas and pratyangas. The entire shikhara has minimal ornamentation.
View of the mandapa (pillared hall) of the Suhaveshwar Temple as seen from its mukhamandapa (front porch). The mukhamandapa has two dwarf walls facing each other. The pillars of the mukhamandapa have cylindrical shafts in the upper half.
The details of the entrance to the garbhagriha (sanctum sanctorum) of the Suhaveshwar Temple can be seen here. The entrance is defined by an ornate dvarashakha (architrave). The pilasters flanking the entrance opening and the vertical and horizontal members of the dvarashakha are all plain. The stone has been painted at some point. The lintel has an icon of Lakulisa. The seated image is two-handed, holding a staff in its left hand. It is shown nude. The presence of this sculpture on the lintel indicates that the temple was affiliated with the Pashupata tradition.
The interiors of the garbhagriha (sanctum sanctorum) of the Suhaveshwar Temple are seen here. It is square in plan and has a Shiva linga (aniconic representation of Shiva) at its centre as the object of worship. The Shiva linga is placed on a high pedestal that has ornate mouldings.
The ground floor of the matha (monastic or residential building) of the Suhaveshwar Temple has a long colonnade on its front side. There are four pillars to the colonnade flanking the main entrance. These pillars are equidistant to one another. At the end of the colonnade, there is a small cell.
