This temple differs substantially in construction method, though not in style, from the earlier temples in the valley. The walls are single slabs with their longest dimension vertical. The temple is one of the smallest in the valley, and although it mimics the Kashmir temples found elsewhere, it differs in that it has an internal domed roof. The structure is aligned due north.
Ornamentation on the temple suggests a Medieval age. Kak describes the offset of the roof as a failed attempt to dismantle the temple. A more likely explanation is that hte roof capstone was inched southward by earthquake shaking. A close-up of theNW corner of the shifted roof stone is shown below.
