The site is within the Chambal River valley ravines, on the north-western slope of a hill near Padavali known for its major medieval era Vishnu temple.

Dacoit Nirbhay Singh Gujjar and his gang helped Archaeological Survey of India restore the temple complex.

[6] The standing temples, stated Cunningham, all had sides made from single slabs set upright, above which sat flat roofs then pyramidal top as a part of their architecture.

[6] The ASI team ruins identification and restoration efforts since 2005 have yielded the following additional information about the site:[1] According to Gerd Mevissen, the Batesvar temples complex has many interesting lintels, such as one with Navagraha, many with Dashavatara (ten avatars of Vishnu) of the Vaishnavism tradition, frequent display of Saptamatrikas (seven mothers) from the Shaktism tradition.

The diversity of the theological themese at the site suggest that Batesvar (also called Batesara) was once a hub for temple-related arts and artists.

[7] It is reducing the Hindu temple idea to its basics, in a simple concept that is one step further from the single cave cell design.

The temples explore a square sanctum mounted on a basement platform (jagati) that is rectangular, states Meister, so as to incorporate a small praggriva (porch).

[7] These temples have a "simple pillared wall topped by a broad, flat-edged awning which extends beyond the sanctum to shade the entry as well.

The square pillars rest directly on the vedibandha, and are crowned by "leaf capitals, their shafts engraved with decorative medallions.

At its best this type has a very individual and decorative quality, still like a wooden or ivory box, intervening bands of meandering foliage especially vital, the whole framed by the flat, deeply shadowed vedibandha mouldings and the crisp chadya (with saw-tooth edge) above", according to Meister.

Limited recovery, standardized temple numbering, ruins isolation with photography, and site conservation effort was initiated during the colonial British era.

Muhammed wrote to the concerned government authorities to stop the mining around the location which severely endangered the thousand year old heritage site.
