Aghoreshwara temple is dedicated to Lord Shiva. The architecture was done in Chalukya-Hoysala-Vijayanagara style using granite. The interior and exterior walls and ceilings were well adorned, yet not overly decorated. One could find many erotic figurines on the outer walls. One more peculiar thing about this temple is it does not have a gopura, but a arch, which could be Nayaka's own style of architecture.
