- Description:
- The jangha (wall) of the Kaner-ki-Putli Temple has central offsets flanked by projections and recesses. The niches of the central offsets on all three sides of the garbhagriha (sanctum sanctorum) are presently empty. These niches may have originally been adorned with depictions of deities. The remaining projected and recessed sections are intricately carved with depictions of minor deities, including dikapalas (deities of cardinal directions), Shaiva ascetics, and female figures.

- Description:
- The west-facing Shiva temple now consists of a garbhagriha (sanctum sanctorum) and an antarala (vestibule or antechamber), with the mandapa (pillared hall) having fallen into disrepair.

- Description:
- The antarala (vestibule or antechamber) of the Kaner-ki-Putli Temple is a shallow space. Its floor is entirely adorned with a chandrashila (moonstone) carving outside the door of the garbhagriha (sanctum sanctorum). The side walls of the antarala lack niches or any other form of decoration. However, on the left side, one can observe an extended holder piece (probably for lighting diyas, or oil lamps) on the wall.
