Located in an open field, this Hemadpanti Mahadev temple has a small piazza-like porch and two pillars that form the entrance. 2 rows of pillars that have carvings of human and divine figures, support the 15'X20' sabhamandap. The way to the inner shrine is a narrow, 1-yard long passage. There are two niches in the wall at the entrance that has a cobra engraved on a stone and the other one has an idol of a Goddess. A few steps lead to the cell-like shrine where the Shiva linga is placed. Near the main entrance of the temple is a disfigured Nandi idol. It is believed that this temple was built in the Yadava period.
