- Description:
- Seen here is a closer view of the partially preserved structure of the central shrine of the Someshwar Mahadev Temple. The remnants of the shikhara (superstructure) are ornate. At the base of the centre of the shikhara, there is a rectangular block that acts as the surasenaka of the shikhara. Although partially preserved, it is evident that the superstructure of the garbhagriha (sanctum sanctorum) of the central shrine was of the shekhari (multi-spire) variety. The mulashringa (main spire), pratyangas (minor limbs) and angas (major limbs) of the shikhara have intricate gavaksha (dormer windows) ornamentations.

- Description:
- Extant pillar from what was likely a torana (decorative arch) that must have been part of the archway on the northern side of the temple. The pillar is intricately carved based on a multi-moulding plinth in which the base has a row of elephants, or the gajathara (elephant band). The lower shaft of the pillar has three sets of sculptures, and the topmost part of the shaft has two brackets. The torana must have been attached to the bracket remains on the pillar.

- Description:
- View of the subsidiary shrine from the panchayatana (main shrine with four subsidiary shrines in all four directions) setup of the Someshwar Mahadev Temple. Not all these shrines have survived, except for the shrines to the northwest and southeast of the main temple. This is the shrine to the northwest of the main temple. The four side shrines in the complex are single shrines dedicated to different deities, probably Vishnu, Ganesha, goddess, and Surya. Of the shikhara on these shrines, only a few aedicules of the base have survived.
