The Shri Siddheshwar temple complex in Toka village is another finest example of Yadava architecture during 12th-13th century in Marathwada region. After the establishment of the Marathi state, new temples were built during the Peshwa period. There are plenty of sculptures out there. The temple consists of many sculptures from many epic stories or character like Ramayan, Mahabharata, Puranas, Surasundari, Vyal-Sharbha. However, it is not as delicate and diverse as the temple sculptures during the Yadav period. The temple has a big Shivlingam inside the sanctum, with the brass snake and the idol of Parvati in the back wall. Read more on Wikipedia
