The presiding deity here is Lord Shiva. Facing east, this square shaped temple is a single storeyed building and is nine ft high. The roof consists of a gable and the topmost beam is decorated with brass vessels fixed to it by pegs. The temple has only one door, which is carved with figures.

A dome shaped small temple is found within the Shirigul Temple. A shivling, which is six inches high and four inches in circumference, is kept inside this small temple. The shivling without clothes or ornaments is placed in a vessel of water. Both the ling and the vessel are made of stone.

The temple is a highly revered one among the people of Shimla.
