==Architecture==<br />
The temple is a [[pancharatha]] temple having Rekha deula ([[Vimana (shrine)|Vimana]]) and a Pidha deula. The temple is decorated with Khakharamundi and Pidhamundis along the main Vimana. Several detached sculptures are kept in care. On the basis of construction the temple can be said to be built around 16th century during Suryavamsi Gajapati rule. The [[Garbhagriha]] houses a circular [[Yoni]]peetha only. The [[Linga]]murthy is displaced by attacks of [[Kalapahad]] who was a Muslim invader from the [[nawab]]s of [[Bengal]] near [[Murshidabad]].<br />
