- Description:
- On the right corner of the rear or eastern wall of the garbhagriha (sanctum sanctorum), there is another male deity identifiable as a dikapala (deity of the cardinal directions). The four-armed deity, like others, has been subject to damages, with his face entirely erased and three of his arms broken.

Seated at the bottom is a bull, indicating that this figure may be Ishana, often portrayed holding a trishula with a bull as his vahana (mount).

- Description:
- The Kaner-ki-Putli Temple is elevated on a tall vedibandha (basal mouldings). Some of the base mouldings are partially obscured by the ground due to the restoration carried out recently. These mouldings comprise kapotapalika (cyma recta), kalasha (a pitcher), grassapatta (a band of kirtimukha or face of glory), and patta (band), adorned with jala (checkered) carvings, from the bottom to the top. Positioned above these mouldings is a kumbha (pot), intricately carved with deities and a ratnapatta (diamond band). Beyond the kumbha, there are carvings of kalasha, antarapatta (recesses between mouldings), and kapotapalika.
