Within the shrine is a small mean-looking *linga* without any *sālunkā*, which has, no doubt, been put in there at some late period, most probably by the Lingāyats. There are no dedicatory blocks over the doors, and the only indications to shew that it was a Jaina temple are two little images of seated Jainas, one half way up the back or west side and one on the north side of the tower. To this might be added the negative evidence that there are no Brahmanical images about the building. The temple faces the east.
