The 4.57 m high and 6.10 meters long image was built by Kempegowda in the 16th century. The image has been carved out of single granite rock. The original colour of Nandi bull was grey which has now turned black due to the application of coconut oil by the devotees. It is believed that the source of the river Vishva Bharti originates at the feet of the statue. The temple is always having some ceremony or other things going on.
Musicians perform there on the weekends.
