Daitya Sudan Temple is a [[Vishnu]] temple dated to the [[Chalukya dynasty]] which ruled Central and Southern India between the 6th and 12th centuries. It belongs to the [[Hemadpanthi]] class and is built in the form of an irregular star. It features carvings similar to those seen at [[Khajuraho]] temples. The deity of this temple is made of an ore with a high metal content that resembles stone. The ceiling of the temple has carvings. The exterior walls are also covered with carved figures. The plinth of the temple is about {{cvt|1.5|m|ft|}} in height and the unfinished roof suggests an intended pyramidal form for the tower.
