The temple is located within the Chittor Fort, at the Gaumukha Tirthasthala, on the northern bank of the Gaumukh Kund reservoir. Since it was built and restored over a period of five centuries (11th-15th century), it features several sculptural styles. Art historian R. Nath describes the temple as "a patch-work".The building comprises a sanctum (garbhagriha) located in the east, an antechamber (antarala), and an entrance hall (gudha-mandapa). It has three entrance porches (mukha-chatushki), on its northern, western, and southern sides. The sanctum is located at a lower level than the general floor level of the temple, with six stairs descending from the antechamber to the sanctum.
