c16.s1.2
Like the temples at Chaudadāmpur and Nīralgi, this one had lost its original finial and has had a smaller one put up in its stead. The ground has so silted up around the building that its basement is buried some two feet below the surface, and it is now necessary to descend one or two steps to enter the *maṇḍapa*. Instead of facing east as is the general rule with Chālukyan temples, which are set east and west, this one faces the west (Plates LXXIV—LXXXIII).
