In a little pavilion, standing in the tank, is a liṅga with five faces upon it—four round the sides and one lying on the top—which is, on that account, called a pañchamukha liṅga. The little temple, seen in the photograph above this small pavilion, with the northern tower, is much like some at Aihoḷe. The temple seen behind it, with the Dravidian tower, is that of Mahākūṭeśvara.
