This modest Vishnu temple going with the name “Chennakesava” built by a local chieftain of the later Cholas during circa thirteenth century. It was considerably improved during the early Vijayanagara period.  The temple is noted for its monolithic and multiple pillars, a product of Vijayanagara exuberance in architecture and sculpture of the early 16th century C.E. The delicacy and fine craftsmanship exhibited in the kalyana and Asthanamndapas belongs to the crest of creative wave of gifted artists with a stamp of an individual genius substantially original and far superior of the times.  Specimens of mural art depicting scenes of Ramayana can be seen on the ceilings of the mukhamandapa.
