The mysterious sculpture of Agnidev.
Many times people confuse the murti (vigraha) for Nandi with face. It is a very rare Murti of Agni as mentioned in the Rig Veda.
The murti is found at the Agnivrush temple in Pateshwar Shiva Temple complex at Degaon near Satara in Maharashtra.

One can enter the temple only after crossing the vestibule which contains a huge “Mandap” in the middle and on the two sides there are balconies. This sacred temple also has been fortified leaving some space in the South and North.A gigantic image of Nandi bull has been placed just before the Mandap where there is a small porch. There are a number of other artistic images on the door that leads to the sanctum.
Lord Shiva here is celebrated as the Lord of Physician or Vaidyanath and has been established here in the form of Shiva Lingam. The key Sanctum of the temple has five projections on each of its sides. The history of the temple has been clearly mentioned on the stones present inside the temple. It is belief that Ravana had worshipped Lord Shiva here in the temple.
As per the belief the water of this temple is highly beneficial and has the capacity to treat most of the human sufferings and diseases. This is also one of the reasons that people from various parts of the country visit every year to the temple and show their gratitude to Lord Shiva.
During the early 20th century the temple has believed to have suffered from a major earthquake. After which Raja Sansar Chand has believed to have made all the effort to rework on the temple with all his heart and soul. The temple complex looks green and lush with a perfect and green field.

This is a magnificent figure of Vishnu in his Narasimha form (half man, half lion), the fourth incarnation of the god of preservation, seated in a yogic posture and wonderfully carved out of single granite rock with almost cartoon-like popping-out eyes. Rising over the head of the deity is a multi-headed cobra hood surmounted by a yali, which forms an arch supporting the two free standing columns.
This 6.7m high sculpture, built in 1528 and the largest in Hampi, has been restored after many years of serious weathering. The band of stone that stretches between the knees is new, and you can also spot other traces of newer stone set against the darker original carving.
Sometimes restoration can go a little too far or be unsympathetically done, but here I think they’ve done a great job. It’s an imposing figure, with the walled enclosure concealing what lies within until the very last seconds of your approach, it only serves to magnify the impact it has on you.
There used to be an additional figure of Lakshmi, Vishnu’s consort, positioned on Narasimha’s lap. This was seriously damaged during a raid in 1565 leading to the fall of Vijayanagara (Hampi). If you get a chance to go inside the enclosure (I didn’t, a low iron barrier implied to me that this was not to be done), you can apparently see the goddess’s hand resting on the back of Vishnu in an embracing posture.
