Standing upon a plinth on the banks of the Narmada River, the temple is built out of yellow and blush sandstone.

The exterior of the temple is elaborately carved, with Shaivite imagery most prominently displayed.

[1] The temple is located in Nemawar, a small town on the banks of the Narmada River.

Due to the amount of stone sculptures excavated from the surrounding area, researchers infer that it must have been the location of a cluster of temples.

[2] Together, these temples are an importance example of a distinct school of architecture which developed during the reign of the Paramara dynasty of Malwa.

[3] The west-facing temple stands upon a four-sided paved courtyard, on the banks of the Narmada.

It is built in a Nagara style, and consists of a mandapa (pillared hall), antarala (ante-chamber), and garbhagriha (sanctum).

This suggests that the original mandapa might have been built of yellow sandstone at the same time as the rest of the temple.

This frame supports the dome, which on the interior has concentric circles in the style of the Dilwara temples.

The fourth is a pilaster in high relief, similar to the ones found in later medieval temples.

The sixth has a meandering creeper design like the first one, and the final two bands are composed of rows of lotus petals.

The central niche contains the image of a four-handed Shiva, with a veena in two hands and a damru along with a skull cup in the other two.
