- La description:
- The south face of the sukanasa (antefix above the roof of the kapila) shows a monkey sitting on a pedestal just above the balcony scene. The monkey is depicted eating fruit, with a noteworthy expression featuring large, bulging circular eyes and an open mouth. There are many temples in which animals are depicted. As monkeys are notorious in nature, they are mostly shown jumping and climbing but here, these actions are not depicted. Rather, the monkey is shown seated alone, peacefully eating a fruit, which makes it a unique representation.

- The top portion of the pillars of the mukhamandapa (front porch) shows couples engaged in different activities such as love-making, dancing, and tender gestures such as a male figure removing a thorn from his partner’s foot and kissing. On the proper right pillar of the mukhamandapa, one panel shows a couple carrying weapons and embracing each other. The couple is flanked by beautiful female figures holding garlands and scarves.

- La description:
- The pillars of the mukhamandapa (front porch) show youthful and charming sursundaris (celestial damsels) with captivating beauty. While many of these figures are badly damaged or lost, the intact figures show the voluptuous bodies of these sursundaris, covered with translucent, fine pieces of cloth, standing on lotus flowers. Their appearance is further enhanced by the jewelleries and elaborate hairstyles.

- La description:
- The mukhamandapa (front porch) of the Ghateshwar Temple has an entry through an intricately carved makara-torana (ornamental arch adorned with intricate carvings of mythical crocodile creatures). The torana (ornamental arch) shows makara (crocodile) on each end. These makaras are being attacked by knights with a sword in their mouth. The floral bands emitting from the mouths of the makaras form a pointed arch, above which musicians are shown seated, playing musical instruments, and singing. At the apex, a kirtimukha (face of glory) flanked by two flute players is depicted.

- La description:
- The mukhamandapa (front porch) is an open hall with a magnificent entrance dominated by a makara-torana (ornamental arch adorned with intricate carvings of mythical crocodile creatures). The pillars of the mukhamandapa are carved with the figures of sursundaris (celestial maidens) and passionate couples, symbolizing the worldly realm. This stands in contrast to the main sanctum where the divine resides in darkness.

- La description:
- The centre of the rangamandapa (open type of pillared hall) has a low-raised platform with pillars that support the central ceiling. Presently, a Shiva linga without a yonipatta (womb-shaped base for the linga) is placed at the center of this square platform. The Shiva linga may have been a later addition to the original design of the rangamandapa.

- La description:
- Interestingly, the floor of the mukhamandapa (front porch) of the Ghateshwar Temple is engraved with numerous inscriptions. On paleographic grounds, it can be observed that the inscriptions on the floor are heterogeneous and belong to different periods. Their lack of sequence or order further suggests that they belong to different time periods.

- La description:
- The garbhagriha (sanctum sanctorum) is comparatively plain and simple, except for the ceiling, which has a square shape with four-armed bharavakas (weight bearers) positioned at each corner. Their upper arms are raised upward to support the roof, while their lower arms carry weapons and an attribute. The square shape of the ceiling transitions into a circle, resembling a full-blown lotus, with a lotus bud hanging from the centre.
