The Neelkanth temple site of Kalinjar consists of several cave temples, dozens of reliefs carved on the walls – quite many of which have inscriptions near them, a colossal bas-relief of 18-armed Kal Bhairav with nearby Kali, a pillared mandapa with associated rock-cut temple for Uma-Maheshvara, a rock-cut water tank, and a ruined temple section that now holds over hundred sculptures, inscribed stone panels and parts of one or more lost temples.

The oldest inscriptions are in Gupta script (c. 6th century). Other inscriptions are in early Devanagari (c. 9th to 10th century) and many in fully developed Devanagari script (11th to 17th century). Quite many of these Hindu inscriptions are of significance to the history of Kalinjar fort, Bundelkhand and Bhagelkhand, but they are also aesthetic art given their fine calligraphy. Quite many start with "Om Namo Shivaya".

The most notable artwork at the Nilkantha temple site include many versions of Ekamukha Shiva linga, a few saharsalinga, dancing Kali, standing Ganesha, anthropomorphic Nandi, Kal Bhairav, Parvati, Saraswati and others.
