At Arasavalli, is located the Suryanarayana Swamy temple dedicated to the Sun God.Constructed by the Ganga Kings around the 7th century A.D., this remarkable temple is built in such a way that the early morning sun's rays fall on the feet of the deity twice a year, in February and June, even when the 5 main entrance gates are closed.
