About the Temple
As indicated by the craftsmanship student of history Adam Hardy, the temple which was inherent 1261 A.D. by an officer of the Hoysala domain (led by King Narasimha III) is a three vimana (hallowed place) arrange with the focal sanctum being semi-stellate (star molded). The other two sanctums on every side of the mantapa (lobby) are semi-vimanas on the grounds that they show no tower. The building material is Soap stone.
The temple has all the standard components of the Hoysala building: an open passage mantapa (mukhamantapa or patio) trailed by a mantapa without any windows, sukhanasi (vestibule) and a garbhagriha ("sanctum").

The external mass of the vestibule is additionally enlivening yet is subtle in light of the fact that it seems like a short continuation of the holy place external divider. The roof of the lobby is bolstered by four machine transformed columns which isolate the roof into nine finished sounds.

The outline of the tower is strength in Hoysala workmanship
