What a wonderful and unique architecture of the temple that has been preserved on this side of the country.The outer pyramid is beautiful with simple designs and aesthetic colors built in the form of several vertical layers with partially broken kalasham on the top.Just below the kalasham of the outer pyramid, they placed several unique carvings of vishnu in ash colour with turban and beard and having four hands holding several weapons which might have got added during restoration or during persian rulers time.Entire sculpture on the outer pyramid base except one standing mutilated ganesha, everything has vanished leaving the uneasy part of the historical destruction.The structure is simple with one inner entrance hall added to the sanctum pyramid.The inner hall is little unique in the form of circle with entrance, two side windows leading to the sanctum entrance.The half pillars above the stone base of the circle of entrance hall is unique and its empty as sculpture might have been looted. Inner or entrance hall ceiling has wonderful big lotus bud and other small lotuses adding colour to the structure.

Nice ancient temple of lord VISHNU Bhagwan..
Good temple in Bastr, very few ancient temples are there in the area and this is one. No need to plan it exclusively, if youre a tourist from outside chattisgarh. You can add it in the itinerary only if it falls on your route.
So exciting
Beautiful and peaceful place.

Nice God Vishnu temple.
Ancient temple of lord Vishnu made by dev vishwkarma
Lord Vishnu temple
Though it has a lot of heritage attached, it has not been popularized enough nor has it been maintained.Hardly 10min can be spent there as there no one to guide you or tell you about this temple. But its a worth visiting temple. It has quite similar architecture to the Kawardhas Bhoramdev Mandir.
