- Description:
- The Gokarneshwara or Bisaldeo Temple is situated in a courtyard near the Bisalpur dam, on the banks of the Banas River. The temple’s architectural layout includes a garbhagriha (sanctum sanctorum), an antarala (vestibule or antechamber), a mahamandapa (pillared hall) with lateral transepts and an ardhamandapa (partially enclosed hall). It is a nirandhara prasada, meaning it lacks the pradakshina path or circumambulatory path. The sanctum is pancharatha (consisting of five projections on each side) on plan, and its walls are plain in design.

- Description:
- The layout of the Gokarneshwara Mahadeva shrine was drawn by A.C.L. Carlleyle. He describes the shrine as ‘…a cave temple, or rather a cave, in which temples or shrines have been built, within a two-storied screen or facing of masonry in the face of the rock, in the side of the mountain at the entrance to the pass, immediately opposite to the town of Visalpur… But apart from the bases of some of the pillars (which appear to be older than the rest), the whole of the structures in the cave appear to be modern…’
