This famous
shrine of Jaganmohini Keshava Swamy is unique. The sanctum enshrines
Lord Mahavishnu carved out of a single, five-foot-high Saligramam
idol. The image of Mohini is engraved on the other side. Sridevi,
Bhoodevi, Adi Sesha, Lord Krishna as Govardhanadhari and sage Narada
are carved around the image of Mahavishnu. Another miracle one sees
here is that of river Ganga flowing from Lord Vishnu's feet.
Opposite to the Vishnu temple, there is a shrine dedicated to Lord
Siva as Uma Kamandaleshwara. Lord Brahma is said to have installed
the Lingam in this temple.
