Closer view of the shikhara (superstructure) of the Shiva Temple. It is of the shekhari (multi-spire) variety of shikhara where the central spire is complimented with miniature shikharas and half portions emanating from it. All the small and big shikhara aedicules are designed like individual Latina shikhara (mono-spired) with gavaksha (dormer windows) designs. The renovated portions of the shikhara were remade in plain stone blocks. At the centre of the base of the shikhara, there is an image of a seated Lakulisha, who is depicted nude, holding a staff, and flanked by two attendants.
