- Tell us about this temple
The temple of Someshwar has a broken bull in front of it. The 25 sq ft outer dome has 8 sides. A large broken ling, apparently belonging to the ling socket in the shrine, lies on the floor. Thus, the only object of worship at this temple is an empty ling case. The shrine is about 20 sq ft and it appears to be older than the Musalmans. The dark shrine is about 6 ft below the dome.
