Photo
The temple is dedicated to goddess Susani, the Kuladevi of the Suranas, a gotra of the mahajanas. The temple is built on a high platform and consists of a sanctum cella, enshrining an image of the goddess, open hall and frontal porch. It is built of Jaisalmer stone. An inscription of A.D. 1172 attests to the antiquity of the enshrined deity, though the existing temple is later.
