This temple has a namaskara mandapam, and gopura dwarams on the east and the west. A majestic tiered brass lamp adorns the temple. Dakshinamurthy, contrary to the name faces the East here. The sanctum is in the form of a chariot and there is no separate shrine for Ambal. Unlike most other Shiva temples in Kerala, there is an image of Nataraja here.
Murals adorn the temple walls.
