Conservation Problem and Remedies
Besides the rain water percolating from the roof, the rain water from the road also enters into the sanctum, which is creating great problems on account of the temple's proximity to Bindusagara and low elevation of the sanctum. As a result, the deity remains submerged throughout the year. Detached and loose sculptures
There is an Udyota Simha on the left side of the doorjamb. References
