Keerti-Narayana temple built in 1217 A.D is an Ekakootachala, one
celled temple raised on a stellate parapet. The main cell houses a fine
image of Keerti-Narayana (one of the 24 forms of Maha Vishnu). The
unique feature of the form is that the Lord holds Padma in upper right
hand and Gada in the upper left. The lower right hand holds Shanka and
the lower left has Chakra.
