There are shrines for Lord Rama, Krishna, Chakarathu Alwar, Lakshminarayana and Lakshmi Varahar. There are excellent sculptures of Lord Vishnu's Dashavatara. Alwars have separate sannadhis. Two important halls, Jevvanthi Mandapam and Veerappa Naicker Mandapam, built during the Naicker rule, are known for their architectural grandeur.
