The mukhamandapa (front porch) serves as an entryway to the mandapa-pillared hall) of the Undeshwar Temple, which features lateral extensions. In the mandapa, tall pillars with square bases support an octagonal shaft that transitions into faceted and circular sections. The square bases of the pillars are adorned with carvings depicting various deities, including dikapalas (deities of cardinal directions), surasundaris (celestial damsels), female dancers, and musicians. There is a square shallow platform at the center on which a Nandi is placed.
