The lower section of the garbhagriha (sanctum sanctorum) entrance of the Vishnu Temple displays the river goddesses, Ganga and Yamuna, succeeded by a chauri (fly whisk) bearer, and then the Vaishnava dvarapalas (door guardians). These four-armed dvarapalas are depicted holding a gada (mace), a shankha (conch shell), a chakra (discus), and one of their hands are positioned in abhayahasta (a hand pose indicating reassurance or protection from fear). They are adorned with a karand mukuta (tiered crown), long garlands, and elaborate jewelry.
The rear view of Shiva Temple 1 showcases the vedibandha (basal mouldings), incorporating the khura (hoof), the kumbha (pot), the kalasha (a pitcher), and the kapotapalika (cyma recta). The kumbha has intermittent niches housing sculptures of females, couples, and dwarfs. Above the moulding, the jangha (wall) exhibits central projected niches flanked by slightly narrower projected niches.
The Chandrabhaga temple complex has two temples, a Vishnu Temple (left) and a Shiva Temple (right), situated on their respective platforms behind the Sitaleshwar Temple. Both temples presently consist only of the garbhagriha (sanctum sanctorum), which can be accessed by a set of steps.
At the rear of Shiva Temple 1, depictions of surasundaris (celestial damsels) adorn the walls of the garbhagriha (sanctum sanctorum). They are presented standing gracefully, holding a flower stalk in one hand and grasping the edge of the scarf with the other. The rhythmic composition is achieved through the flexed postures, flowing scarves, and curved flower stalks.
The external walls of the antarala (vestibule or antechamber) of the Sitaleshwar Temple are decorated with beautiful sculptures of deities. On the rear (west) wall, Lord Vishnu is depicted seated on a pedestal in lalitasana (the royal position or position of royal ease). He is presented with four arms, carrying a gada (mace), a chakra (discus), and a shankha (conch shell). His front right hand is posed in abhayahasta (hand pose indicating reassurance or protection from fear). He is depicted wearing a crown with a halo around his head.
The antarala (vestibule or antechamber) of the Sitaleshwar Temple provides access to the garbhagriha (sanctum sanctorum) through an intricate panchashakha (five vertical bands) entrance. These shakhas or vertical bands display floral patterns and foliage. The lower sections depict images of Shiva on both sides along with representations of river goddesses, Ganga and Yamuna.
An inscription is found in the antarala (vestibule or antechamber) of the Kalika Devi or the Navdurga Temple. Based on palaeographic evidence, it can be said that the letters engraved belong to a later period.
On the western wall of the garbhagriha (sanctum sanctorum) of Shiva Temple 1, a dikapala (deities of the cardinal directions) is illustrated on the corner projection. This two-armed deity is portrayed with a khadga (sword) in his right hand while his left-hand rests on his thigh. Adorned with a crown and jewellery, the deity is accompanied by his vahana (mount), which is depicted at the base.
The details of the garbhagriha (sanctum sanctorum) are seen here at the bottom of the entrance of the Vishnu Temple. Flanking the chandrashila (moonstone) at the garbhagriha entrance is a band that shows vyalas (composite mythical creatures) pouncing upon and biting elephants from behind and tearing them apart with their claws.
Kubera is depicted at the bottommost external shakha (vertical band) of the garbhagriha (sanctum sanctorum) entrance of the Vishnu Temple. He is depicted with two arms, standing, holding a bag of money, and there is a pot of nidhi (wealth) placed at the bottom. Kubera is also wearing a crown and jewellery.
