These are the remains of the mandapa (pillared hall) and the north shrine in the triple-shrine Neelkanth Mahadev Temple. Like the south shrine, only the plinth of the exterior walls has survived. The mandapa (pillared hall) must have had kakshasanas (seats) in the original layout, which is evident from the vedika (railing) portions that are seen in this picture.
