- Description:
- Seen here are the details of the mukhamandapa (front porch) of the matha (monastic or residential building) of the Suhaveshwar Temple. The entrance of the mukhamandapa is flanked by two walls which must have had kakshasanas (seat backs) above it. The corners are marked by pillars. In front of the mukhamandapa is an enclosed space that might have been used as a shrine of the matha. The pillars of the matha are plain, made up of rectangular stone slats with minimal ornamentation.

- Description:
- The Mahanaleshwar temple matha consists of a central open-air courtyard with colonnades on all sides on the ground floor and a row of cells for the ascetics to rest, meditate or reside in the southern part of the upper storey. The pillars surrounding the open courtyard on the ground floor have been reused from some earlier construction at the site. Michael Meister has suggested that the pillars have been reused form the ruinous Triple-shrine Templewhich is in front of the Mahanaleshwar Temple.
