The literary sources ascribe to Vastupala and Tejap膩la a
large number of temples. In his Nara峁嚹乺膩ya峁嚹乶da Vastup膩la
himself says that he has built innumerable temples for the
spiritual merits of his parents, sons and other relatives, 221 That

originally belonged to an earlier date. Popularly this temple is known
as the temple of Balarama, because of an existance of sculpture of
Balarama in the back niche of the mandovara of the temple. In the
ma峁囜笉ovara facing west there is a sculpture of N峁沬var膩ha. Just near
the temple there is a room, the wall of which contains a sculpture
of Nrisimha, originially belonging to the temple. All this Vai峁ａ箛avite
sculptures indicate that originally the temple was dedicated to Vi峁ａ箛u.
There is also one more temple dedicated to 艢iva. The two ornate
pillars with Gha峁璦pallava motif and the sculptures of Vedik膩 and
Samatala ceiling of Sabh膩ma峁囜笉apa suggest an earlier date, than that
of the Vaidyanatha temple. The superstructure of the garbhagriha of
this temple, though covered with thick plaster, exhibits over it a
J膩laka design which also supports its early date.
The walls of the temple known as Samadhi mandira also contain
beautiful sculptures.
The temple, known as Rup膩r膩峁嘺's temple, contains many
components of early date such as the mouldings of the pit岣�a, Vedik膩s,
ceilings and vase & foliage pillars of he mandapa, and sculptures on
Jangh膩 moulding of the mandovara, the carvings of Samvar峁嚹�
(though covered with thick plaster ). etc.
