The shrine is particularly known for its magnificent architecture. There are a large number of elaborately carved pillars inside the temple premise. You can also take a look at the ancient scriptures inscribed on the walls. Some of the most striking features of the temple include the Rajagopuram or the temple tower and the Dhwajastambha.
