The chief temple, and the best preserved of those now standing, is that of Kēdārēśvara situated on the bank of a large tank to the south of the village. Like the one at Raṭṭehaḷḷi—being, in fact, a twin building to it—it has three shrines around a common hall, in advance of which is the larger open hall. Like the last, too, this has the great sculpture of the Hoysaḷa king and the lion repeated upon the towers of two of the shrines. The corresponding sculpture for the third tower, the north one, was never put up, and still lies in an unfinished state in the courtyard below.
