2. Niches depicting figures of Shiva, Ganesha and a goddess

Descrizione:: A closer view of the lintel of the dvarashakha (door jamb) of the mulaprasada (main shrine) of the Neelkanth Mahadev Temple. This lintel has five rathikas (small niches) with depictions of Shiva at the centre, flanked by Ganesha on the right and goddess on the left.

4. View of the rear elevation of the southern shrine

Descrizione:: This is the view of the rear elevation of the southern shrine of the triple-shrine Neelkanth Mahadev Temple.
