Description:

Seen here is the eastern elevation of the Nilkantha Mahadev Temple. The central shrine is the best preserved of all shrines in the tri-kuta (triple-shrine) temple. The Latina nagara (mono-spired) variety of shikhara atop the central shrine of the Neelkanth Mahadev temple has been renovated.
