Also by the side of this temple, is a temple of Udhbava Mahalakshmi ‘temple where Sri Maha Lakshmi is in Udhbava form (sprouting from the rock) & Sadashivaraya installed this idol. A cobra visits mother Maha Lakshmi regularly. There are many inscriptions on temple walls which refers to Chalukya King Kirtivarman-II, which dates to 8th – 16th centuries.
