English: This 16th century Vishnu avatar temple was originally in Manchalakatta village. It has Vijayanagara style, one built by Jatprole kings who also built temples in Jatprole (Jetprole).
The construction of the Srisailam Dam in the 1950s and 1960s raised water levels. It submerged many sites along the Krishna river, including where this temple used to be. The temple was dismantled, shifted and rebuilt in Kollapur from Manchalakatta village site that is now submerged.
It is a large stone temple with a square plan and Dravida architecture. The temple is notable for its huge stone mandapas with near life size artwork. However, the artwork here is simpler than the older temples in the Srisailam region.
