The temple is built in the Kadamba style from basalt, carried across the mountains from the Deccan plateau and carved by craftsmen.
It is considered to be the only specimen of Kadamba architecture in basalt stone preserved and available in Goa.
The temple survived invasions and the Goa Inquisition due to its remote location in a clearing deep in the forest at the foot of the Western Ghats which surround the site.
