- Description:
- The mandapa (pillared hall) of the Hazareshwar Temple is a small square open hall which stands on a low base, supported by four pillars positioned at its corners. These pillars feature square bases adorned with depictions of deities. The shaft of the pillars is intricately carved with male deities, musicians, dancers, and surasundaris (celestial damsels). Transitioning into an octagonal shape, then into sixteen facets and circular, the shaft culminates with an abacus supporting bharavahaka (load bearers) brackets, which in turn uphold the lintel. The mandapa's ceiling, square in shape, is exquisitely carved. There is an idol of Nandi housed at the centre of the mandapa.

- Description:
- Situated within the Bijolia temple complex, right next to the Mandakini Kund and behind the Mahakal Temple, stands the remarkable Undeshwar Temple. It is one of the mature examples of the Bhumija variety of temples. It has a central projection on each of the four faces, the quadrants so formed filled with miniature spires in vertical and horizontal rows right up to the top. The name Undeshwar originates from the fact that the inner sanctum of this temple is located about 2.4 meters below the floor level of the assembly hall.
