The
present new temple is quite big and built on the Indo-Aryan styles
bearing resemblance to a Jain shrine. It was a square mandap in
front of the garbha griha, which is adorned with artistic
embellishments like, ornamented door frame; elegant pillars and
murals. Many sculptural adornments resembling the figures of similar
ones at Navas and Toke are superb and are heightening the grandeur
of the temple. The sikhar is small in size but its superb artistry
is adding grace to the whole structure. Offering ritualistic worship
we come out to visit some other important shrines adjoining the
temple. The shrines dedicated to Kamalaja, Sakini and Dakini who
helped the Lord during the war deserve visitation and they are in
the vicinity and are installed in befitting manner. Situated up
above the high hill and amidst the thick forest, this temple though
modest in proportions, its past enthralls the visitors. Hence the
unending streams of devotees throughout the year.
Our
next leg of tour takes us to Parli, where the Lord despite beaten by
Ravana and Baiju, His devout adorers with their dreadful clubs, is
emancipating the theists with unbounded compassion.
