Within the temple, placed against a pillar, is an inscribed slab containing a record of Chāmuṇḍa II. (A.D. 1169), one of the Sinda chiefs. It is much worn, and little of it can be deciphered, but it begins with an invocation to Śiva. This must have been engraved about the time of Basava, the founder of the Liṅgāyat sect, and may possibly be connected with the conversion to their use of some of the old temples here.
