- Description:
- The Mahanaleshwar temple matha consists of a central open-air courtyard with colonnades on all sides on the ground floor and a row of cells for the ascetics to rest, meditate or reside in the southern part of the upper storey. The pillars surrounding the open courtyard on the ground floor have been reused from some earlier construction at the site. Michael Meister has suggested that the pillars have been reused form the ruinous Triple-shrine Templewhich is in front of the Mahanaleshwar Temple.

- Description:
- Closer view of the dikapala (gods of cardinal directions) Kubera in the devakoshtha (niche) along the mandapa (pillared hall) dwarf walls of the Mahanaleshwar Temple. Kubera corresponds to the northern direction. The lower two hands of the deity are broken but the upper two hands hold a nakula (money) bag, one of the distinctive attributes of Kubera. The devakoshtha is composed of two slender pilasters surmounted by a miniature samvarna (pyramid-shaped) variety of shikhara (superstructure). The ghantas (bells) of the shikhara are fronted by a udgama (gavaksha or dormer window design). It rests on a low pedestal made up of multiple mouldings.
