The deities include Krishna as Venugopal (Venu-Flute in hand, in a standing posture), Alvar saints, Godha devi in alwar style. The temple houses a large complex including Yaga sala, and a beautiful mirror room exhibiting Lord Krishna in pavalimpu seva [Lullaby]. The place, though remotely located, attracts pilgrims from the locale, as well as the entire state.</p><p>This place is of historic importance, it has been noted by locals that many artefacts, fire altars and earthen ware used for Yagna / fire worship have been found.
