- Description:
- Couples invoking shringara rasa (associated with romance, love and attractiveness between lovers) are framed in panels with pillars and shikhara with gavaksha (horseshoe) motifs. They sport elaborate coiffure and wear jewellery, indicating they are royalty. The panel is richly detailed, featuring nine figures. The central male figure is seated on a raised throne in the lalitasana pose with the central female figure seated in the padmasana pose. The man is facing the woman and caressing her chin with his left hand and holding a flower in his right hand. The female has her right hand placed over the man’s right shoulder, while her left-hand rests upon the head of a female attendant seated on the ground. The man is resting his right foot on a lotus next to a musician playing the flute (bottom left). Three more attendants appear on the left, with the largest one holding a fan. On the right side, a female attendant (top right) is holding a fly whisk while another, the larger figure, stands in the tribhanga pose, playing a musical instrument.

- Description:
- Couples invoking shringara rasa (associated with romance, love and attractiveness between lovers) are framed in panels with pillars and tiered shikhara with gavaksha (horseshoe) motifs. The face of the female figure is missing and the face of the male figure is defaced. They are wearing heavy jewellery, elaborate headgear, and garments, indicating they are a royal couple. The central male figure and female figures are enjoying a musical concert in a grove. They are seated on raised circular seats, and the male is seated in the lalitasana pose. The female figure is leaning towards the male and playing a stringed musical instrument (likely a veena). They are surrounded by four smaller figures. A male soldier is holding a sword and shield (on the left). One musician is playing the flute (bottom), sitting between the seats. A small female attendant (top right) is whispering in the ear of the central female. Mangoes are hanging from the tree branches.

- Description:
- A small shrine, possibly a newer construction, is placed off-centred to the right facing the garbhagriha. Further steps lead to the third level, on a projected platform. The upper part made of concrete is a later addition. The structure has arched openings on the west, east, and north sides with a rectangular entrance inside an arched niche (seen here) on the south side. Instead of the traditional shikhara, the temple was reconstructed with a concrete dome by the Archaeology Department of the erstwhile Jaipur State in the 1940s.

- Description:
- Debris from the original temple was salvaged when the current temple was reconstructed in the 1940s. These have been assembled in parts to form the jagati (raised platform). However, it is not known where they were located in the original temple. The space in front of the garbhagriha (sanctum sanctorum) is the maha mandapa which is used as a congregation space and for conducting rituals. A pradakshina (circumambulation path) goes around the garbhagriha and the mahamadapa. Instead of the traditional shikhara, the temple was reconstructed with a dome by the Archaeology Department of the erstwhile Jaipur State in the 1940s.

- Description:
- Debris from the original temple was salvaged when the current temple was reconstructed in the 1940s. These have been assembled in parts to form the jagati (raised platform). However, it is not known where they were located in the original temple or if they came from multiple structures. The assembled sections here consist of two blocks stacked on the jagati. The upper block has the kalpavrisksha (tree of life) motif running along a central band. The panels on either side are damaged but visible features include the kalpa lata (creeper) motif (bottom left), the purna ghata (overflowing pot of prosperity) motif (mid-sections), and the kirtimukha motif (bottom right). The block in the middle has the ardha padma (half lotus) motif.
