51. Sculptures on the Jangha (wall) of the subsidiary shrine of the Someshwar Mahadev temple complex
- Description:
- This is a closer view of the north-facing jangha (wall) of the subsidiary shrine in the southeastern corner of the Someshwar Mahadev temple complex. The wall of the pancharatha (five vertical projections on each side) shrine is very ornate. The bhadra (central projection) that faces west has the depiction of Surya. The other projections have depictions of dancers, apsaras (celestial damsels), and dikpalas (deities for cardinal directions). The presence of an image of Surya holding lotuses in the upper hands, on the exterior wall indicates that the shrine must have been dedicated to Surya.

- Description:
- View of the fallen mandapa (pillared hall) and the entrance to the garbhagriha (sanctum sanctorum) of the Chaunsath Yogini Temple. The layout of the mandapa can be discerned based on the hewn foundation stones of the exterior walls and the pillar positions. It must have been a semi-open type of mandapa, with openings on the west, south, and north sides. The remnant portions of the interior walls of the mandapa indicate that these must have been plain in comparison to its interior.

- Description:
- Closer view of the shikhara (superstructure) of the mandapa (pillared hall) of the Shiva temple. This shikhara is of the ghantasamvarna (bell roof) variety of a pyramidical nature. It is made up of several small ghantikas (bells) that have chaitya dormer motifs on their pedestals. These aedicules are arranged in such a manner that they appear cascading from top to bottom.

- Description:
- This is a devakoshtha (niche) on the surface of the kumbha (pot-shaped) moulding, which is part of the high plinth of the Chaunsath Yogini Temple. Each of these devakoshthas is formed of two slender pilasters with a ghatapallava (vase and foliage) motif. The niche is crowned by a gavaksha (dormer window) design. Most of the sculptures from the devakoshtha are lost, but the few sculptures that survive are of goddesses. The presence of these goddesses supports the Shakta affiliation of the temple.

- Description:
- The Someshwar Mahadeva Temple is a panchayatana (main shrine with four subsidiary shrines) temple. It is raised on a high plinth. The central shrine is dedicated to Shiva. It is surrounded by four minor shrines in four corners of the plinth, of which only two shrines are extant. As far as the two other minor shrines are concerned, only the remains of the plinth have been preserved. The entire complex can be approached via a flight of steps. At one point in time, a torana (arched gateway) might have stood at the entranceway, as indicated by the remains of the two pillar bases. In addition, there is also another fully preserved pillar to the right of the central shrine.

- Description:
- This is a closer view of the jangha (wall) of the subsidiary shrine in the northwestern corner of the Someshwar Mahadev temple complex. The wall of the pancharatha (with five vertical projections on each side) shrine is very ornate. The central bhadra (central projection) that faces west has a depiction of the Trivikrama form of Vishnu. The other projections have depictions of dancers, apsaras (celestial damsels), and dikpalas (deities for cardinal directions). The inclination of Vishnu imagery on the exterior wall indicates that the shrine must have been dedicated to Vishnu.

- Description:
- View of the garbhagriha (sanctum sanctorum) interior of the Someshwar Mahadev Temple. The walls and ceiling are plain. Presently, the object of worship in the garbhagriha is a Shiva linga (aniconic representation of Shiva), which appears to have been kept here at a later date. The back wall of the garbhagriha has a low-relief empty niche.

- Description:
- View of the side shrine from the panchayatana (main shrine with four subsidiary shrines cardinal to the main temple) setup of the Someshwar Mahadev Temple. Not all these shrines have survived, except the shrines to the northwest and southeast of the main temple. This is the shrine to the southeast 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 (superstructure) on these shrines, only a few aedicules of the base have survived.

- Description:
- A closer view of the east jangha (wall) of the Kumbheshwar Mahadev Temple. The wall scheme is similar to the two north and south sides of the temple, with depictions of apsaras (celestial damsels), ascetics, and dancers on the intermediate and corner projections. The bhadra (central projection) has an image of Chamunda. The image of Chamunda is shown here portrayed with a skeletal body, six-handed, and a scorpion on her stomach. Below the image is a supine human figure. Except for a damaru (small two-headed drum) and a khatvanga (staff with a skull), the other attributes of the Goddess are broken.
