¤ Temple Attractions
On top of a wide platform is the small and dainty Nandi mandapa with
an elegant pyramidal roof – you must check this one out if you
are an art and architecture freak. It has a large stone image of Nandi
(Lord Shiva’s vehicle, a bull).
He sits there with a sphinx-like expression that is hard to read –
although it does seem, from certain angles, like he’s staring
longingly at the temple before him, the house of his master. The
Vishwanatha Temple has some ancient sculptural details and within the
shrine is an exquisite marble Shivalinga (phallic representation of
Shiva).
