- La description:
- The entrance to the garbhagriha (sanctum sanctorum) is decorated with an ornate dvarashakha (architrave or vertical band). It consists of panchashakhas, meaning five vertical divisions on either side of the dvarashakha. The threshold at the centre bottom is decorated with floral motifs. Above the lintel beam is a row of miniature niches, called rathikas that have engravings of divinities. All the vertical divisions of the dvarashakha have figures carved. These consist of depictions of river Goddesses, apsaras (celestial damsels) and Shaiva attendants. The attendants are carved on the most protruding shakha called the stambha shakha. The lalatabimba (centre of the lintel) has an image of Lakulisa, indicating that the temple was affiliated with the Pashupata Shaiva tradition.

- The north-facing lateral transept of the mandapa (pillared hall) of the Mahanaleshwar Temple has three devakoshthas (niches), of which the two on the right are seen here. Amongst them, the devakoshthas at the centres of the dwarf pillars house an icon of Vishnu and, on the right, an image of Gajalakshmi. Vishnu is shown with a Garuda near his foot and the goddess has two elephants above her bust. The wall frieze that separates the devakoshthas consists of a pilaster motif interlaced with icons of surasundaris (celestial damsels). The mouldings of the plinth match the mandapa of the temple.

- La description:
- The Mahanaleshwar Temple has a pancharatha (consisting of five projections) plan, meaning that it consists of a main central broad projection that is flanked by an intermediate and corner projection respectively. In elevation, the temple consists of two main components, the vedibandha (basal mouldings) and the jangha (wall) of the temple. The vedibandha is mainly a set of horizontally running mouldings of different forms. The jangha is the primary wall of the temple. At the vedibandha level, the projections of the temple are not separated by recesses called the salilantaras. But the jangha has recesses. Also, the jangha has icons in all the projections and recesses, but the vedibandha is sparsely ornamented. Only the kumbha (pot) moulding of the vedibandha has framed images of deities.

- La description:
- The central bhadra of the east-facing jangha of the temple has a Natesha icon. The devakoshtha that frames the Natesha is similar in style to the devakoshtha on the east-facing jangha. The eight-handed Natesha is in a dancing posture holding a snake, kapala, khatvanga, trishula, and damaru attributes. Natesha has a jata mukuta (matted hair) and a halo behind his head. There are two dancing figures that are likely attendants at the feet of Natesha.

- Seen here are the details of the east-facing mandapa (pillared hall) of the Mahanaleshwar Temple walls. The walls of the mandapa that are connected to the mukhamandapa (front porch) have jalavatayanas (perforated windows). The north and south sides of the mandapa have lateral transepts with dwarf walls. Kakshasana (seat backs) runs all along the transepts of the mandapa. This kakshasana has dwarf pillars on its corners. Just below the pillars are niches containing images of deities. The east-facing mandapa walls have images of dikapala (gods of the cardinal directions) and river goddesses.
