[1] Art historian Adam Hardy classifies the style involved in the construction of the temple as "Later Chalukya, non mainstream, far end of spectrum".

The building material used is soapstone[5] The temple is protected as a monument of national importance by the Archaeological Survey of India.

[6] The temple has a single square shaped shrine (garbhagriha) with an east–west orientation, a vestibule that connects the sanctum (cella or vimana) to the main large open hall (mukhamantapa) that has a staggered square plan and can be entered from five sides;[7] two lateral and one each in the north, south and east.

The relief work in the central panel of the hall ceiling is particularly noteworthy and the overall preservation of the temple is good.

The doorjamb at the entrance to the vestibule and sanctum are typically ornate and Hoysala in character, with the lintel displaying a sculpture of "Gajalakshmi" (the Hindu goddess Lakshmi with elephants on either side).
