Vishnu is depicted holding a shankha (conch) and a chakra (discus) in the upper arms, and a gada (mace) and kamandalu (water pot) in the lower hands. In some of the sculptures, instead of holding a kamandalu, he is depicted with his lower hand in varada hasta (boon-giving gesture).
Shiva is portrayed with a jatamukuta (crown of matted hair), wielding a trishula (trident) and a sarpa (snake) in the upper hands, and a bijapuraka in the lower left hand, while making the varada hasta (boon-giving gesture) with his lower right hand. One of the Shiva figures is seated, holding the same attributes.
The interior surface of the enclosure walls, similar to the entrances, features several sculptures such as Brahma, Vishnu, and Mahesha, dikapalas (deities of cardinal directions), surasundaris (celestial maidens), and vyalas (composite mythical creatures).
These inscriptions are written in Devanagari script and Sanskrit language. A detailed examination of these inscriptions reveals significant information such as the temple’s name, the Kund’s name and name of the devotees who bathed in the Kund and worshipped at the Mahakal Temple.
The Kund is surrounded by a tall enclosure wall, with steps provided on three sides which leads to it. One of the entrances, facing the Hazareshwar and Mahakal temples, is adorned with remnants of the temples.
The Mandakini Kund reflects the vast skies, with birds in flight, and the temple spires creating a peaceful scene. One can see the depiction of a deity on the wall, which may have been a later addition.
The doorframe of the garbhagriha (sanctum sanctorum) is adorned with two female figures, while the central positions on either side are occupied by Shaiva dvarapalas (door guardians). Completing the ensemble is the figure of Kubera, the God of wealth.
The doorframe of the garbhagriha (sanctum sanctorum) has two floral shakhas (vertical bands or branches), a central dominant stambha shakha (pillar-shaped branch) with a purnaghata kalasha (vase and foliage), and an outer shakha adorned with vyalas (composite mythical creatures) arranged in a vertical chain.
