There are several architectural remains to the east of the Kumbheshwar Mahadev Temple complex. These were retrieved from the temple premises. The remains consist of pillars, lintels, plinth mouldings, shikhara (superstructure remains), pranala (water chute), among several others.
The interiors of the Kumbheshwar Mahadev Temple are austere, barring a few sculptures. One of the devakoshthas (niches) in the wall of the mandapa (pillared hall) has a deity with his consort probably Uma Maheshwar.
Seen here is the east-facing exterior wall of the Shiva Temple. All the wall projections are adorned with sculptures. The bhadra (central projection) has a sculpture of Natesha, the intermediate projections have surasundaris (celestials), and the corner projections have dikpalas (deities for cardinal directions). The devakoshtha (niches) on the central bhadra is an ornate niche. The wall projections are not separated by recesses.
Seen here is the south-facing exterior wall of the Shiva Temple. All the wall projections are adorned with sculptures. The bhadra (central projection) has a sculpture of Tripurantaka Shiva, the intermediate projections have surasundaris (celestial damsels), and the corner projections have dikpalas (deities for cardinal directions). The jangha (wall) portion of the temple is in a different stone than the rest of the temple. The projections are separated by recesses, except for one recess between the wall of the shrine and the mandapa (pillared hall).
The four small temples are among the few well-preserved structures. All are single shrine structures, simple in form, and adorned with phamsana (pyramidical stepped) type of shikharas (superstructure). The smallest shrine among these is probably a samadhi shrine (a commemorative shrine built in memory of a pious deceased individual). In the foreground is a plinth of another temple, which is in ruinous condition now. The phamsana shikharas of these shrines are peculiar as there are very few of this style of shikharas in Arthuna.
The south-facing central projection on the Mandaleshwar Mahadev Temple has an icon of Tripurantaka Shiva. The six-handed deity has lost several of its attributes but is shown attacking a demon with his foot. The jata mukuta (matted hairdo) is peculiar.
The shikhara (superstructure) of the Mandaleshwar Mahadev Temple is built in brick. It is in the shekhari (multi-spire) variety of Latina shikhara where the mulashringa (main spire) is complimented by many small shringas (spires) emanating from it. These half and miniature shringas provide a cascading effect to the shikhara. The mulashringa is styled as a Latina sikhara. It is made up of five bands, in which the central band is broad, flanked by two bands each on either side. These side bands are of equal size. The brick shikhara is likely to be a later addition to the temple.
Details of the mouldings of the vedibandha (basal mouldings) of the temple. The broad kumbha (pot) moulding consists of a diamond motif band at its centre and a kirtimukha (face of glory) moulding at its base. Most of the plinth’s mouldings are plain.
View of the mandapa (hall) of the Mandaleshwar Mahadev Temple as seen from the mukhamandapa (front porch) of the temple. The mandapa is astylar, which means that it does not have any pillars in the centre of the hall. The pilasters are arranged along the sides to support the entire structure. The pilasters and pillar types are simple, plain shafts with minimal ornamentation of foliage motifs.
