Architecture

Believed to have been built in the tenth century, the massive structure consists of a pancharatha sanctum, antarala and mukha mandapa, which rest on six pillars. The entrance is through a makara-torana. There are surasundaris which are carved on the front pillars of mukha mandapa in dance postures.[1]
