This temple was built by the king (Krishnadevaraya) in 1513 AD. The main idol installed in the temple was the figure of Balakrishna (Lord Krishna as infant). This idol is now displayed in the State Museum at Chennai. This is one of the few temples where the epic stories are carved on the walls of the tower. This is fairly an undamaged specimen of a Vijayanagara era temple. |
