The temple features a 41-meter gateway tower adorned with 1,500 stucco figures and contains three distinct ceremonial precincts within its granite walls.
The Pandya dynasty constructed the temple in the 13th century, followed by Nayak kings who added pillared halls during the 15th and 16th centuries.
The temple walls display 200 paintings depicting Hindu epics, while the musical pillars in the front mandapa produce seven different notes when struck.
