 place with historical importance, hindu temple
The local guides mistakenly refer it by the name "underground temple". This misnomer is due to the fact that the temple is situated at a depth lower than the current roads. the interesting fact about this temple is that the linga-yoni is under water. the temple is connected to some sub-terrain passageway to the Tungabhadra river.The front entrance is blocked by water but a window to the eastern side of the temple opens into the garva-griha.
