The northern side lateral transept attached to the mandapa (pillared hall) of the Mahanleshwar Temple has devakoshthas (niches) on all sides containing deities. Seen here is probably a broken sculpture of a river goddess in one of the niches flanked by a row of pilaster motifs and dancing figures. The dwarf wall of the transept has kakshasana (seat backs) containing designs of balustrades separating the sculptural depictions formed in circles.
