195. Foundations of another temple or subsidiary shrine inside the temple complex

Descrizione:: Within the larger temple premises, old foundations of another temple or subsidiary shrine (I) are visible. This foundation is situated diagonally at the right corner to the entrance of the Mahakal shrine and suggests the presence of a shallow mandapa, anatarala and a small garbhagriha in plan. Presently, only the base of the temple is surviving, and the rest of the structure has collapsed. It seems that the pillage of broken fragments in the boundary wall also belongs to this temple. Presently, a Shiva Linga is placed on the floor of the foundation.

197. Stairs leading to the mandapa

Descrizione:: A closer look at the stairs, leading to the mandapa, shows that the bottom stair, although lacking carvings, is made like the chandrashila (moon stone) found in ancient temples. The top two stairs were decorated with the original broken parts of the temple at the time of renovation. The pillars which are placed on both sides of the steps are similar to the pillars at the entrance of the temple complex.

198. Back view of the Mahakal Temple

Descrizione:: The rear side of the temple faces the road. The rear portion of the garbhagriha has a jangha and shikhara. It is noticeable that the shikhara is plain and simple, unlike the jangha, indicating that the shikhara is likely a later renovated structure. The temple is surrounded by a boundary wall comprising broken parts and fragments of the temple. The present temple complex has various trees and plants inside it, evoking ancient descriptions that temples were often nestled in groves as it was believed that gods liked to reside in nature (groves).
