Madhava Raya Temple built in 1284 A.D is a Trikootachala, three celled
temple raised on a stellate parapet. The main cell houses a fine image
of Adi-Madhava (one of the 24 forms of Maha Vishnu). The unique feature
of the form is that the Lord holds Chakra in upper right hand and
Shanka in the upper left. The lower right hand holds Gada and the lower
left has Padma. To the left of Adi-Madhava we find Janardhana image and
to the left we see Venu-gopala.
