Its stucco decoration shows avatars of Vishnu and raslila scenes; the ASI took charge of the derelict monument in 1996.

Not yet sourced: how to reach it, its sthala katha, who paid for it and a source beyond Wikipedia.
Those are gaps in our citations, not in the record of the site. A field appears here only once we can cite it, so an absent one means the sourcing is still to do — most of these facts are well attested somewhere we have not read yet: a gazetteer, an inscription volume, the temple’s own office. We omit rather than guess.
