111. View of the Shikhara of the Neelkanth Mahadev Temple

La description:: View of the south-facing side of the shikhara (superstructure) central shrine in the Neelkanth Mahadev Temple. Since the central shrine has undergone renovations, the plinth, wall, and spire portions are in place. The temple is a variety of Latina nagara (mono-spired) shikhara and pancharatha (five vertical offset or projections on each side) in plan. At the plinth level, the kumbha (pot) moulding has been renovated. During this process, the deities on the faces of the kumbha might have been replastered.

112. Details of the Latina Nagara Shikhara of the Neelkanth Mahadev Temple

La description:: Seen here are the details of the Latina nagara (mono-spired) shikhara (superstructure) of the central shrine in the Neelkanth Mahadev Temple. It is made up of five vertical projections. The central band or the madhyalata is flanked by pratilatas. These three bands are made up of a mesh of gavaksha (dormer window) motifs. The corner bands of the shikhara have aedicules which are known as bhumikhandas, again having gavaksha designs on their surfaces. These aedicules diminish in size and are separated by flat ribbed discs. Based on this shikhara, it can be speculated that the other two shrines of the temple must have had similar Latina nagara shikharas.
