The temples at Katas are mostly constructed on square platforms. The elevation of the sub shrines seems to form a series of cornices with small rows of pillars, crowned by a ribbed dome.

the temple is evidently ancient, but not antiquitic. The earliest construction has been dated to around 600 CE, at least a thousand years before hte mahabharat war.

Its amazing that when INdian historians, and historians of India, lament the lack of any architectural evidence regarding the period of hte mhabharata wars, we have people claiming this.

The Lake is just an addition to the beauty.
