Lakshminarayana Temple – Architecture

Lakshminarayana Temple is a splendid example of a Trikuta vimana (three shrined) temple. The central shrine has a tower (Shikhara) on the top. The other two shrines are square in construction with five projections. The central shrine is well decorated and its tower has a sukanasi (nose) which is a lower tower over the vestibule that connects the shrine to the hall. The sukanasi looks like an extension of the main tower over the central shrine.
