Description

This temple dedicated to the incarnation of Vishnu’s Vamana form. This temple is situated about 200 m. to the north-east of the Brahma temple. This temple is Nirandhara (one without ambulatory) temple, consisting on plan of a sapta-ratha sanctum, vestibule,  maha-mandapa with  lateral transepts and entrance-porch, of which in in present only the plinth has survived. Its sikharais unencumbered by any subsidiary sikharasand is embellished with a fret-work of chaitya-arches, contrast to the developed local temples, erotic scenes are absent here, except in the subsidiary niches of the  proof-pediments. It is also noteworthy for showing over the maha-mandapaa peculiar roof known as samvarana which is characteristic of the medieval temples of western India. The absence of the dhammilla- type of head-dress on the sura-sundari figures indicates that the temple is later than the Kandariya, the sculptural types and style of which it continues. This temple is, therefore, assignable to circa  1050-75 C.E.
