This Kashi Vishweshwara Temple is a stellate planned structure. The sanctum is on a 2 feet raised jagati. The exquisitely carved molding are on the ceiling of entrance porch. It is an ekakuta temple and has short vesara vimana. It has a garbhagriha, sukanasi, navaranga and mukhamantapa, which is completely missing today.
