Someswara Temple
This Saiva temple on the outskirts of the village is preceded by a courtyard with ambulatory. At the centre of this courtyard is a sandstone image of Hanuman, flanked by recovered granite images of Ganesa and Kartikeya. Hanuman's association with Saivite temples is linked to a popular myth where he is an incarnation of Shiva. Behind these images is the kirtistambha and the Nandi pavilion.
