The Devi dol at Joysagar is a simple brick built double-roofed hut built on a rectangular plinth. A similar type of mukhamandapa provides entrance to the temple. There are niches on the walls of the main temple containing different representations of the goddess. Besides these temples, on the south-west bank of the tank there is a very beautiful small brick-built temple commonly known as the Ghanashyam House or Nati-Gosain temple.
