Other major attractions involve the presence of sculpted walls as well as pillars that are built of black granite stones. For providing the visitors with visual as well as spiritual solaces, the images of dancing Ganesha as well as Jaalandhra are also present in the Temple. The stone inscription in the temple proves its history dating back to 11th or 12th century.
