Architecture

The entire structure of the temple is made of wood while the sanctum sanctorum is made of stone. The spire of the temple is made in the Nagara Style of Architecture with gypsum, lime and plaster. This temple was constructed in Yadava style of architecture. The sanctum is sunken in nature, in that it is lower than the surrounding ground level. There are also two Deepstambhas either side of the assembly hall, together with a host of carvings of idols scattered around the compound. On the outer limits of the walled compound are a number of living quarters. The side structures, Shikhara of the main temple and adjacent smaller shrines. The sabhamandap of the main temple had tilted due to deterioration in the structural members and lack of proper anchoring. The same was pulled and anchored in position with additional structural arrangement. The wooden framed structure of the main temple was strengthened and deteriorated wooden sections were replaced. The next step was to reinstate areas which had undesired interventions by way of extra construction, painting over original walls etc to its original status, excavating the filled up kund, steel grills and fabricated doors etc. The same have been reinstated in its original state using same material. The wooden false ceiling which was damaged was reinstated using original material itself.
