Must visit The architecture of the temple gives one goosebumps. Difficult to imagine that it was carved out of human hands that too around 1000 years ago when there were no tools, implements, etc. It's sheer magical. The main mandapam is underground, which is more mesmerizing. Divinity, magic, peace, serenity, oneness all merged into one...

Its a very old temple run f lord Shiva! As per folks this temple was built by Pandavas. Hence this temple carries a lot of eminence among the locals. The temple’s architecture is very nice. I loved the old architecture and statues carved on the rock. I wish the surroundings of the temple could have kept cleaner.

From internet only information I could gather was it is more than 1000 years old.....who built it when etc information wasn't available..... there are many stone carving depicting various diaties like Ganesh, yaksha, gandharv, Apsara,lord Brahma etc. This temple is protected monument as per ASI but sadly there are no visible efforts on protection or repair of damaged sculptures.....there are no sign or information boards which will give information to the visitors.
