The shivling inside the temple was so fascinating 👌
Nothing much left of this ancient temple though the outer structure is intact.There are two sanctums connected to the beautiful pillared hall with out any sculpture.Current sanctums has two phallic form of lingams with carved and decorated nandi at the entrances.
