The temple of Krishna, as it now stands, is of little interest save for three large inscription slabs built into the inner wall of the hall. There is no separate shrine, and what little of the original temple remains has been so encased in mud walls that not even its plan can be made out. One of its ceilings is sculpted in bold relief with a group representing Krishna and the gopis. Within the hall, upon a raised platform, is an arrangement made up with a brass mask and which is now worshipped as Krishna by members of the Mānbhāva sect.
