Believed to date to the 1790s-1800s period, it has a rectangular ground plan, with triple archways in the east and south. The east and south facades are "highly decorated with terracotta plaques depicting Radha-Krishna-Balram legends, the episode of Ramayana and floral motifs like the Bara Govinda Mandir.
