The Koppeśvara is a Hindu temple of the Śilāhāra age dedicated to Śiva under at the village Khidrāpur. This temple, though not definitely dated anywhere, was probably commenced during the reign of Gaṇḍarāditya. As shown later, it consists of the garbha-gṛha (sanctum), the antārāla (antechamḃer), the gūḍha-maṇḍapa (enclosed hall) and the raṅga-maṇḍapa, constructed in a row.

Koppeśvara as the name of a God and a temple is mentioned in the “Khidrāpur stone inscripiton of the Yādava king Siṅghaṇa”. Accordingly, “May religion attain great stability and augmentation in the region round (the temple of ) Koppeśvara, delighting the (three) worlds at all times in the new circumstances as it (i.e. the religion) has now, after a long time, obtained a high abode worthy of it and (also) great men (viz. the Yādavas) who are prosperous, intelligent, powerful, clever and long-lived !”.
