2) Vamana Temple - Situated on the north-east side of the Brahma Temple, this temple is around 63 feet in length and 46 feet in breadth and stands on an exceptionally high platform. Inside the sanctum is an interesting image, 5 feet in height, of Lord Vamana, the dwarf incarnation of Lord Vishnu.
It also has figures of the incarnations of Vishnu carved in its framework along with a figure of Lord Brahma in the bhumisparsa-mudra or earth touching gesture. The upper row round the sanctum portrays Brahma with his consort on the south and Vishnu with his consort towards the north. The lower row contains the images of Varaha, Narasimha and Vamana.
