The temple, dedicated to Lord Vishnu, is a three-tiered pagoda structure featuring 108 sacred water spouts in the shape of cow heads and two holy ponds where devotees take a ritual bath. The temple complex also includes shrines dedicated to Hindu gods like Shiva and Ganesha, alongside Buddhist stupas and prayer wheels, symbolizing harmony between the two religions.
