इमारत/संरचना/स्थल का विवरण |
The present temple is a relatively recent construction and seems to have been rebuilt in the mid or later part of the 20th century. A small centrally located wooden porch gives access to the temple. The single storey structure consists of a main chamber that accommodates the stone deity. The front face of the structure has wooden paneled facing while all the three sides are constructed in dhajji dewari. The CGI roof is pyramidal in shape with a metal kalash surmounting it. |

The structure is constructed in brick masonry within a dhajji dewari framework with the masonry laid in mud mortar. The original mud pointing has been replaced with cement pointing. The walls are left un-plastered on the outside, while on the inside they are plastered in mud. Two decorative wooden columns flanking both sides of the entrance porch embellish the otherwise ordinary temple. |
