Description:

Three small shrines in the southwestern quadrant of the Mahanaleshwar temple complex. One of these is a single-shrine latina-nagara (mon-spire) variety temple consisting of a garbhagriha (sanctum sanctorum) and a mandapa (pillared hall), and two are just square single-cell temples with a phamsana shikhara (pyramidical superstructure). The walls are bereft of any ornamentation.
