Dedicated to Lord Shiva, Kopeshwar Temple situated on the banks of river Krishna setting a fine example of ancient sculptural technique. The temple was built in 7th century AD, during the reign of the Chalukya Kings. It was patronized by the Shilahara Kings during the 12th and 13th century. The temple was built with basalt stone which was imported from South India.

Kopeshwar temple  has a circular open sky roof, Hingall, old pillars with carving of deities, animals, male and female artists performing various dances on its walls. Unique feature of the temple is that visitors first get a glimpse of Lord Vishnu as Dhopeshwar in ling form instead of the Shivaling which is usually the case in Shiva temples. Another notable feature is that there is no Nandi at the entrance- which is the norm for all Shiva temples.
