The second cluster consists of the Veerabhadra, Nakkalagudi and Kancharagudi temples, located away from the main village, where only the sanctums survive. Among them, the Gollingeswara Temple is the largest and the richest in architectural richness. It consists of a garbhagriha, antarala, a narrow passage, mukha mandapa, and a later-added mandapa. The sanctum houses a polished granite linga, while the exterior walls feature richly carved koshtas with sculptures influenced by the Kalinga style. The temple contains images of Ardhanarisvara, Vishnu, Bhikshatanamurthy, Mahishasuramardini, Surya, Skanda and Devi. The temples are adorned with numerous sculptures, including Ardhanariswara, Ekapada Dakshinamurti, Bhikshayatana Siva, Surya, Kumara with Kukkuta, Kubera on a human mount, Mahishamardini, Chamunda and Gomata in the Gollingeswara group. The Kancharagudi Temple features sculptures of Vishnu, Nataraja and Surya, along with Ganga and Yamuna figures carved at the base of the doorway and in separate niches. (2/2)

The Pre-Gupta phase showed extensive settlement expansion with well-planned brick and stone structures, drains, multi-room complexes, a lime-plastered square kunda and a Satavahana brick structure. Finds included terracotta figurines, beads, ivory dice, iron implements, sealings with Brahmi inscriptions, copper coins and a silver coin of Vashishthiputra Pulumavi, indicating trade and administrative connections. The Gupta–Vakataka phase was marked by continued urban development with brick-built rooms, walls and covered drainage systems. Pottery included stamped wares decorated with symbols such as the svastika, crescent moon and floral motifs. Silver seals, terracotta figurines, beads, iron tools, decorated stone plaques, copper coins and Roman silver portrait coins reflect the site's cultural and economic prosperity. The Later Gupta phase was represented by structures built with reused bricks and brickbats, along with Red Ware and Dull Red Ware pottery. Iron objects, terracottas and semi-precious stone beads were also recovered. The excavations also revealed a fortified settlement surrounded by an ancient moat, demonstrating the continuous occupation, urban growth, craft production, trade contacts and political significance of Malhar from the Pre-Mauryan to the Later Gupta period.
