Structurally,
Paschimeshwar temple shows a close affinity with the
Parasurameshwar group of temples. It is situated within
the enclosure of the Yameshwar temple. It had a half-buried
shrine that has been demolished long ago. A visitor
can still be happy to see the
parsvadevatas.
Mention may be made of Parvati, Shiva's consort, standing
erect with a vase, a crooked staff, a rosary and a
lotus held in her four arms with her mount the lion
on her side. Kartikeya, the warrior son of Lord Shiva,
can be seen seated on the peacock holding a spear
and a
matulinga in his hands. He wears his
hair coiffured in a very stylistic fashion known as
sikhandaka-kakapaksha.
The elephant-headed
god, Ganesa, the other son of the Lord, holds his
favourite variety of sweets, the laddukas, a
hatchet, a rosary and probably a radish in his four
hands with his typical pot-belly tied by a snake.
He is seated on a throne that is supported by a
dwarf.
