The Channa Kesava temple is Krishna temple. There is a
beautiful image of Lord Krishna carved on black granite. There were no visitors
in the temple. Not many people visit the temple as it is located in a village
away from the main township. The temple is maintained by the Archaeological
Survey of India. The sculptures of the temple are simply awesome. You can take
pictures in the temple premises.
