State of preservation:

The temple has been restored up to the superstructure, but its base is in very bad state of preservation and is shapeless.

Description:
The temple base is now shapeless, but according to previous descriptions, it was staggered square and roughly 4m larger than the temple body (Krom 1923, I: 407).
The temple body is a staggered square with a porch on its eastern side. It measures 4.80m x 4.80m (without the projections). At the centre of the northern, western and southern walls is a niche, while the entrance door is flanked by two smaller niches.31 The architectural ornamentation was left unfinished.
The cella is 2.70m square.
According to ancient reports, four paths leaded from the temple to an enclosure wall. In the south-western and north-western corners of this enclosure were lingga shaped boundary stones. (Friederich 1876: 91)
Sculptures: In the northern, western and southern niche of the temple body are visible Durgā, Ganeśa and Agastya. On each side of the entrance stands a dwārapāla.

Miscellaneous archaeological finds:
Several cylindrical stones were found near the temple. These are made of two parts. In the lower (?) part is excavated a shallow circular cavity, with a short tenon in its centre. The top part has been carved to fit into the cavity and tenon of the lower part. The upper part show 9 cavities: a circular one at the centre (that fits with the tenon of the other part of the stone), and 8 drop-like holes around it. (Knebel 1911a: pl.23).
