This is another beautiful temple on the banks of the Tank Dhorasamudra. It is as far as five hundred meters(500mtrs) east of Basadi village. As per the tradition of the Hoysala architecture, the temple stands on a raised pedestal, and is girdled by bands of Elephents, Horses, lions, crocodiles, Swans and mythological stories, creepers and so on arranged in different tiers. In the front entrance there are the stone meshes of artistic work (Jalandra). On the other three sides there are idols of gods and Demi gods.  
The sculptural master pieces of Vrsha bharoodha (the ox rider) the Gajasura Mardana (the slayer of the elephant demon), the Kaaliya mardana (the chastiser of the Kalinga Serpent) and others are exceptionally fine. Inside as a navaranga containing beautiful round pillars and there is the Bhuvaneshwari ceiling too. There are two sanctuaries which are both empty. (devoid of the idols).

Around the temple gardening has been done well. The Kalyani (Sacred pool of water) on the north - east corner has been completely covered up now.
