A closer view of the high plinth of the Chaunsath Yogini Temple is seen here. The plinth is composed of a pitha (base) on which are large kumbha (pot-shaped) wide projections, each having a devakoshtha (niche) on the surface. The mouldings of this plinth are similar to the mouldings of temple base plinth. A few plain bands are followed by a kapotali (cyma recta) moulding, kumbha, kalasha (a pitcher), and kani.
This is the south-facing elevation of the Shiva Temple from the Arthuna group of temples. According to its plan, the temple consists of a mukhamandapa (front porch), a mandapa (pillared hall), an antarala (vestibule or antechamber) and a garbhagriha (sanctum sanctorum). Above the garbhagriha rises a lofty shekhari (multi-spire) shikhara. This is the only temple that has its shikhara in its complete form, albeit renovated. The temple structure on the exteriors has undergone several restorations. Many fallen architectural elements have been reassembled.
Seen here is the east-facing exterior wall of the Shiva Temple. All the wall projections are adorned with sculptures. The bhadra (central projection) has a sculpture of Chamunda, the intermediate projections have surasundaris (celestial damsels), and the corner projections have dikpalas (deities for cardinal directions). Chamunda is shown in skeletal form. There is a recess separating the main shrine wall and the mandapa (pillared hall), which has a kutastambha motif (a pilaster with miniature shikhara or superstructure).
Chaunsath Yogini Temple is situated amidst the Shiva Temple and Jain Temple. Located on a high plinth, the temple has evidently been significantly damaged because of which its mandapa has not survived. The architectural patterns of the temple are different from most other temples in the Arthuna group.
There are several architectural remains to the east of the Kumbheshwar Mahadev Temple complex. These were retrieved from the temple premises. The remains consist of pillars, lintels, plinth mouldings, shikhara (superstructure remains), pranala (water chute), among several others.
The interiors of the Kumbheshwar Mahadev Temple are austere, barring a few sculptures. One of the devakoshthas (niches) in the wall of the mandapa (pillared hall) has a deity with his consort probably Uma Maheshwar.
Seen here is the east-facing exterior wall of the Shiva Temple. All the wall projections are adorned with sculptures. The bhadra (central projection) has a sculpture of Natesha, the intermediate projections have surasundaris (celestials), and the corner projections have dikpalas (deities for cardinal directions). The devakoshtha (niches) on the central bhadra is an ornate niche. The wall projections are not separated by recesses.
Seen here is the south-facing exterior wall of the Shiva Temple. All the wall projections are adorned with sculptures. The bhadra (central projection) has a sculpture of Tripurantaka Shiva, the intermediate projections have surasundaris (celestial damsels), and the corner projections have dikpalas (deities for cardinal directions). The jangha (wall) portion of the temple is in a different stone than the rest of the temple. The projections are separated by recesses, except for one recess between the wall of the shrine and the mandapa (pillared hall).
The four small temples are among the few well-preserved structures. All are single shrine structures, simple in form, and adorned with phamsana (pyramidical stepped) type of shikharas (superstructure). The smallest shrine among these is probably a samadhi shrine (a commemorative shrine built in memory of a pious deceased individual). In the foreground is a plinth of another temple, which is in ruinous condition now. The phamsana shikharas of these shrines are peculiar as there are very few of this style of shikharas in Arthuna.
