==Architecture==
Although of the same date as some of the buildings at [[Khajuraho]], architecturally speaking, the temple spire belongs to a class known as ''bhūmija'', or 'earth born,' a mode of temple construction that originated in the Mālwa region.<ref>Krishna Deva, "Bhumija Temples," in ''Studies in Indian Temple Architecture'', ed. P. Chandra (Delhi: AIIS, 1975): 90-113; Adam Hardy, ''Theory and Practice of Temple Architecture in Medieval India: Bhoja's Samarānganasūtradhāra and the Bhojpur Line Drawings'', with translations by Mattia Salvini (New Delhi: IGNCA, 2015)</ref> Other temples of this type are found at [[Nemawar]]
==Iconography==
The complex Śaiva iconography of the temple has been studied by Doria Tichit.<ref>Doria Tichit, "Le programme iconographique du temple d’Udayeśvara à Udayapur, Madhya Pradesh, XIe siècle," Arts asiatiques 67, no. 1 (2012): 3-18.
