The architectural patterns of the temple building shows that it has been expanded at least three times from its establishment until now. In the early 18th century, Sarkhel [[Kanhoji Angre]] built a quadrangular inner shrine made up of finely hewn stones, also called as the '''Gabhara''' around the original place of [[Shiva]]'s ''pindi''. This is the main room of the temple which contains a ''shivling'' or ''pindi'' at its centre. Later, in the mid-18th century, Sardar Sambhaji Angre and Sankhoji Angre built a '''Mandap''' in front of the gabhara. This mandap consisted of four huge wooden pillars bearing beautiful carvings all over them. They also built a '''Pradakshina Marg''' around the gabhara. The entire area was enclosed with walls to form a small temple consisting of the gabhara, the mandap and pradakshina Marg. The entire temple building covers an area of 4,025 sq ft. Stone tiles were placed in the area outside the main temple building covering an area of about 15,000 sq ft. It was in this era that the temple was provided with two new gates on the western and southern side. | The architectural patterns of the temple building shows that it has been expanded at least three times from its establishment until now.

The walls of the temple show drawings depicting incidences from [[Ramayana]] and [[Mahabharata]]. These drawings were drawn by artists appointed by Sardar Sambhaji Angre. These drawings are unique in the sense that although they depict stories from the ancient Vedic culture, the characters' clothes, weapons, ornaments and other equipment and instruments are similar to those found in the 18th century.<ref name=":0" /> | The walls of the temple show drawings depicting incidences{{verify spelling|date=September 2022|reason=''incidence'' is normally used only in the singular form, perhaps ''incidents'' or ''instances'' was intended}} from [[Ramayana]] and [[Mahabharata]].
