The temple is surrounded by private residential buildings in south and west directions at a distance of 3 m. In the east are a road and a drain in the north.

The temple stands on a high pista decorated with three mouldings measuring 50.80 m in length x 5.75 m in width with 0.92 m in height.

The parsvadevata niches on the raha paga of the jangha on the three sides of north, west and south direction measure 0.75 m in height x 0.45 m in width and 0.29 m in depth.

Svapnesvara Siva temple was repaired by Orissa State Archaeology under the X and XI Finance Commission Award.

Some of the conservation problems the temple is facing is that stagnation of drain water in the northern side of the platform will weaken the foundation in the long run.
