The entrance of the temple is very short that hardly people can enter straight.The entrance were short as it was believed that the devotees should lean down against God.On the basis of architectural scheme and an inscription in the lintel of Laxmanesvara temple, which is adjacent to it, the temple can be assigned to 6th century AD. The temple is triratha on plan and triangabada in elevation.<ref>{{cite web|title=ODISHA (ORISSA) TEMPLES|url=http://www.heritagetoursorissa.com/odisha-temple.php|website=www.heritagetoursorissa.com|accessdate=17 October 2017}}</ref><br />
