The prehistoric Vishnu Temple at Buniyar is a perfect example of intricate stonework, epitomizing the craftsmanship of early Kashmiri architecture. Due to age and neglect, the shrine has now reduced to a state of utter dilapidation. Though dedicated to Lord Vishnu originally, any illustration of the commanding deity no longer exists. However, some representation of Lord Shiva can be found in the sanctuary. The Vishnu temple is built on a double platform with porches sided by columns. The roof is understood to have been gabled and two-tired, though nothing remains as testimony for today. A colonnade marks the enclosure complete with pillars and niches. A two-porched gateway still remains on the eastern side.
