The sanctuary is developed altogether from laterite blocks, aside from the doorjambs, somewhat surprising for antiquated sanctuaries I saw during my 10 days in the state. A huge current Nandi lies somewhat further east of the sanctuary, toward the south is a little laterite tank.

A neighbourhood here disclosed to me the name of the sanctuary is gotten from the ruler’s little girl, Uttara, for who he assembled the sanctuary for. I’m generally a little careful in fully trusting neighborhood stories, yet I have neglected to decide whether lord Udyota Kesari could possibly do have a girl of that name.

The sanctuary was in a flimsy and part of the way demolished state until 2002 when the ASI stepped in to redesign and reestablish the construction. In 2017 the public authority gave an award to the sanctuary with worked with the development of a limit divider.

Specialities in the sanctuary outside housed some fascinating icons, I admit I have not had the option to distinguish every one of them.

There’s a powerful urge here to transform the sanctuary into all the more a vacationer location, however plainly, those endeavors have not been acknowledged at this point. Every one of local people were both astonished and inquisitive to see me here, and I unquestionably get the feeling that this sanctuary is rarely visited by outcasts.

Work gives off an impression of being progressing redesigning spaces of the sanctuary compound. While the outside of the sanctuary today is extremely plain, there is a lot of proof that once enriching highlights were more plentiful.

Thrown on the ground around the sanctuary are numerous sections of carvings, some, unfortunately, seems to have been as of late broken. It’s not satisfactory to me if these were once important for the principle sanctuary itself, or were joined into other auxiliary designs that have now vanished.

The managing god is a patalaphuta Siva linga inside a roundabout yoni pitha made of dark chlorite, the sanctum is 1.50m beneath the mandapa (jagamohana) floor level.
