The temple shows signs of extensive damage and change.
It was badly damaged in the plunder raids by #Muslim army of #Qutb_ud_din _Aibak and his successor #Iltutmish in 1232 CE along with other temples in the fort following a #jauhar, parts of the ruins were then used to apparently build a #mosque nearby.
The #mosque was in turn apparently destroyed by Hindu Maratha army centuries later.
The temple was restored by the Hindus after the desecration by #Iltutmish forces, which speculated #Cunningham, may explain some of the features that appear from a later era.
The temple has icons and inscriptions related to all three major traditions of #Hinduism: #Shaivism, #Vaishnavism and #Shaktism.
