The sanctuary is east-bound and there is three layered rajagopuram. The nandhi and balipeetam are found in the front mandapam. The primary hallowed place is east-bound and the south-bound ambal holy place.

This thousand year old sanctuary is the image of proceeding with design custom of the Chola skilled workers and it is one of the later Chola sanctuaries which have stayed unrivaled as far as engineering greatness to date. The engineering and figures show perfect creative aptitudes. The sanctuary vimana (place of worship segment of a sanctuary and its superstructure) is assembled like a chariot (ratha) like structure drawn by two ponies. The left wheel is adhered to the earth since Lord Ganesha squeezed it.

The manchabhadra upa-pita or platform frames the base. The padma banda adhisthana (socle) comprises of 18 diverse particular shaped levels (from base up); Upana or upatala (the base), Padma (a layer of lotus theme), Jagathi (straight), Kumuda (round), Kanta (neck), Patti and Kapota (layer of lotus petals). Nagara vimana has kirtimukha kudu on every heading and a round kalasa and stupi.
