According to the art historian Adam Hardy, the temple which was built in 1261 A.D. by an officer of the [[Hoysala empire]] (ruled by King [[Narasimha III]]) is a three ''vimana'' (shrine) plan with the central shrine being semi-stellate (star shaped). The other two shrines on each side of the closed ''[[mantapa]]'' (hall) are ''semi-vimanas'' because they exhibit no tower. The building material is [[Soap stone]].<ref name="semi">Hardy (1995), p.343</ref>

The temple has all the standard features of the [[Hoysala architecture|Hoysala architectural]] idiom:an open entrance ''mantapa'' (''mukhamantapa'' or porch) followed by a closed ''mantapa'' with no windows, ''sukhanasi'' ([[Vestibule (architecture)|vestibule]]) and a ''[[garbhagriha]]'' ("sanctum").<ref name="standard">Kamath (1980), p.134</ref> The temple gets an elevated look due to the ''[[Jagati (temple)|jagati]]'' it stands on (a platform that is about a meter high).<ref name="platform">Quote:"The Jagati serves the purpose of a ''pradakshinapatha'' (circumambulation) as the shrine has no such arrangement in Hoysala temples", Kamath (2001), p.135</ref> According to art historian Gerard Foekema, being a triple ''vimana'' construction it qualifies as a ''trikuta'' plan although only the central ''vimana'' usually has a tower (called ''[[shikhara]]'') over it.

The entrance to the temple is through an open pillared porch (''mukhamantapa'') followed by a closed ''mantapa'' (or ''navaranga'').<ref name="taste">Foekema (1996), p.25</ref><ref name="sign"/> According to Hardy, the eastern side of the temple shows some later additions.<ref name="semi"/> The porch consists of an [[awning]] supported by lathe turned half pillars and [[parapet]]s on either side.<ref name="pillar">Foekema (1996), p.24</ref> The closed hall which has no windows connects to the sanctum via a [[Vestibule (architecture)|vestibule]] (called ''sukhanasi''). The vestibule also as a tower (also called ''sukhanasi'') which looks like a low protrusion of the main tower over the shrine. The inner walls of the shrine are square and plain where as the outer walls are semi-stellate (semi-star shaped) with numerous recesses and projections that are used for decorative relief consisting of [[Aedicula]] and [[pilaster]]s. The outer wall of the vestibule is also decorative but is inconspicuous because it appears like a short continuation of the shrine outer wall. The ceiling of the closed hall is supported by four lathe turned pillars which divide the ceiling into nine decorated bays.<ref name="wall">Foekema (1996), pp.21–22</ref> According to art historian Percy Brown the lathe turned pillars with four brackets above are a characteristic style of the Kalyani Chalukya-Hoysala architecture.<ref name="sign">Brown in Kamath (1980), p.134</ref>

At the top of the shrine tower is the ''[[kalasha]]'', a decorative water-pot like structure that is placed over a large dome (the "helmet") which is the largest piece of sculpture in the temple measuring about 2m x 2m.<ref name="lion">Foekema (1996), p.27</ref> The design of the tower, according to Brown, is a speciality in Hoysala art. According to him, the stellate form of the base of the shrine with its "projections and recesses" is carried through the tower giving it a "fluted effect". The tower is divided into tiers with each tier diminishing in height and culminating in an umbrella like structure.<ref name="brown">Brown in Kamath (1980), pp.134–135</ref>
