This temple, once belonged to King Kumarapala, has undergone renovation. Built during the Solanki period (11th-12th century), it is notable for its huge dimension and architecture. The temple has been built in an area of 230 sq ft. Keghat woods (fire-proof wood) were used along with stones for the construction work.
