We have still at Ter some Buddhist remains that go back to the age of the Satavahanas. The most noteworthy of these is the ancient Buddhist Caitya built of brick, which has since been turned into a Vaisnava temple dedicated to Trivikrama. In form it is just the structural counterpart of rock cut Caityas with a barrel or wagon vaulted roof and an apsidal back. This is one of the few structural Caityas discovered in South India. Trivikrama temple is important because it is said that Saint Namdev had delivered a kirtan in this temple. In the outer mandap of this shrine, supported on four wooden pillars, a place has been conserved and pointed out to be the one where the Saint had stood. Daily offerings of flowers are made on this spot. An idol of Kartik Svami shown as sitting on a peacock is installed to the left in the middle chamber. Beyond this is the semi-circula, darkish vestibule wherein is the main idol. It is the Vamana incarnation of Visnu delineated in the act of placing his foot on the head of Bali, when the latter asked him to do so. Bv the side are figures of Bali's wife and Sukracarya, the sage. There is also it much broken and defaced idol. The most attractive object of all in this shrine is the excellently carved and ornamented crown worn by the main idol. From the state of the temple and its architectural style it appears to be nearly 1,500 years old.

Enough and very good information has been provided in the review written by Mr. Datta Kanade. I would like to add some interesting info here. There are two rocks under the huge tree which is near the compound. The rocks look same, but if you hit them with a small rock they will produce different sounds. One rock produces metallic sound. Don't miss it.
