    Dashavtar Vishnu temple dedicated to the ten incarnations of God Vishnu
    This temple built in the 5th century AC is an important chapter of history. According to architecture, some unique examples of rock cut painting are found in this temple. Among them Gajendra Moksh and Sheshsayi Vishnu are best examples.
