hirapur and the yogini temple

anyone been to see this? its right near Bhubaneswar in Orissa:

YOGINI SHRINE

Location : Hirapur, 15-km southeast of Bhubaneswar, Orissa
Significance : One of the four hypaethral temples in India


On the outskirts of Bhubaneswar , 15-km southeast of the city is a small, circular temple, the Yogini Temple, dating to the early ninth century. It is hypaethral (open to the sky), and belongs to a genre of architecture completely apart from the major Orissan School. Although it seems that temples of this type existed throughout India at one time, today only four remain. Two of them are in Orissa; the shrine at Hirapur, and one in the far western reaches of the state, at Ranipur-Jharial.
