An impressive four storeyed rock-cut temple with façade facing east about 29 m long, 16m wide; depth and plan of excavation varying in each storey. It was probably commenced in the 6th 7th century AD. Ground floor is an unfinished low pillared hall with 8 pillars and 7 door openings on façade. First storey is accommodates triple shrine (now empty) at back, each with pillared hall in front, originally dedicated to the Trinity (Trimurthi Siva Vishnu and Brahma) and a small rock-cut attendant shrine on north.
All extant sculptures represent Vaishnava deities and legends. Second storey has a pillared rectangular shrine of Anantasayi (Vishnu reclining on serpent couch) on north and a lesser shrine on south. Sculptures both Saiva and Vaishnava and a few like the Vaishnava Alwars are later additions. Top floor was intended for a triple shrine but unfinished. Some of the extant sculptural specimens, on stylistic grounds were attributed to the Chalukyan period.
