The deity of Lord Vishnu in black stone (in the form of Jagganath) presides over this temple. There is also
a brass image of Vishnu’s vehicle Garuda facing the statue of Lord Vishnu in the main shrine. There are
many small shrines other than the main temple and are dedicated to Lord Ganesha, the Sun God,
Goddess Shakti and Lord Shiva. A large number of devotees throng the temple, especially to watch the
Aarti that takes place at every sunrise and sunset.
