4) Chitragupta or Bharatji's Temple - This temple faces east and is 75 feet in length and 52 feet in breadth.
Dedicated to the Sun God (Surya), an image of the Sun God is enshrined within the sanctum, wearing high boots and driving a chariot of seven horses.
The length of the image is 5 feet while another image of the Sun God can be found over the entrance. Another sculpture of interest is an eleven-headed image of Lord Vishnu enshrined in the central niche to the south of the sanctum.
The central head is of Vishnu himself, while the remaining ten heads are symbolic of his ten incarnations. There are no inscriptions on the temple therefore the period of its construction cannot be defined.
