Mahadev Temple

The temple is dedicated to Siva consists of garbhagriha, antarala, mandapa and a porch. The exterior of this temple is completely devoid of figures, its place on the walls being taken by exceedingly chaste and effective three running bands of geometry ornament carried round in unbroken lines. The hall which is now devoid of roof was once covered by a large dome which has fallen leaving but one ring of its mouldings which rests upon a polygon of sixteen equal sides. The ceiling of the antechamber is peculiar in as much as it is oval in design, a very rare form. The rosette in the middle which forms the pendant is also oval. This temple is datable to 13th century AD.
