The
Sanctum Sanctorum of the Sidh Peeth is a natural Cave shrine called
as 'Gufa'. The architecture follows the 'Shikhara' style in new
temple was built later alongside the Shiva temple towards the
'Charan Paduka'. An ancient 'Radha Krishna' temple in dome architectural
style also beautifies the surroundings nearby. "Bhartrihari
and Sidh Durga Temple" are also prominent constituents of
the temple complex.
In addition to main Deity, the images of other Hindu Gods and
Goddesses also grace these temples. A mound, below the 'Gufa'
called as 'Thara' - is the main worshiping site of the 'Sidhpeeth'.
Thus, the architectural design of the buildings in the temple
complex is of 'Shikhara' and 'Dome' style. Other archeologically
important places in the temple complex include 'Langar Bhawan'
alongside Bhartrihari temple and the 'Matha'- about one kilometer
from the 'Gufa'.
