Front view of the Harshat Mata Temple with steps leading to the temple from the ground level. Also seen is the smaller Nandi shrine in front of the main temple. In modern times, the west gate of the Chand Baori complex is separated from the east gate to Harshat Mata Temple by a street and boundary walls. Situated between the temple and the baori is the modern Hanuman Mandir. In earlier times, it was likely that the Harshat Mata Temple and the Chand Baori were part of a single integrated complex without any separating barriers.
View of the Someshwar Mahadev temple from the western side. To its north is Gamela talava(lake). Faintly in the background can be seen the Kumbheswar Mahadev temple. The entire wall projections, built in schist stone, are adorned with imagery of gods, goddesses, apsaras and ascetics. These consist of the Shaiva images inside principal niches – Natesha, Andhakasuravadh, Chamunda and dikpalas that is the cardinal deities–Indra, Agni, Nritti, Vayu, Kuber and Ishana.

An overview of the Hanuman Garhi temple complex from the eastern side. Seen here (from left to right) are many Shiva temples, behind it is the Hanuman temple with a flag, the Kumbheshwar temple and the Nilkhanth Mahadev temple with Surya Kund in front of it. The Hanuman statue enshrined in the Hanuman temple dates to the eleventh century CE.
South Elevation of the Shiva temple containing a mandapa having lateral transepts as in many temples within Arthuna. There are restorations done to the main shekhari shikhara of the temple. The shikhara above the mandapa can be used as an analogy to understand the mandapa shikharas of other temples in Arthuna. The niches at the base of the shekhari shikhara contain images of Digambar Shiva, Shiva flanked by Vishnu and Brahma and Lakulisha, on the south, west and north elevations.
View of the Jain temple remains from the west-facing elevation. Surrounding the main temple are seen plinths of devakulikas (small shrines) which have not survived.
