The temple is full of elaborate sculptures and decoration. The doorway of the temple has intricate carvings and is enclosed with ornate walls. The massive pillars of the temple are carved to resemble an octagonal wooden log with one baring inscription. Some of the pillars are decorated with intricate carvings.
The sloping roof of veranda are made of wood coated with copper tiles resembling temples of Nepal. The temple complex has seven mandapas supported by beautifully carved pillars built in the Vijayanagara style.
