− | Situated in the centre of the village the three tier temple is a perfect specimen of Dravidian architecture. The old temple in ruins managed by Ahobila Mutt. The temple in its present form is located on a one-acre site with a separate shrine for Lakshmi. The temple is solid and simple in its construction. An imposing but small tower dominates the landscape and the temple has a special reason and awesome background that heightens its glory. An unassuming three tier Rajagopuram with designs of small squares converging at the summit into a tower symbolically represents that every being has to merge ultimately with the Supreme. Inside the sanctum the atmosphere is very calm and quiet, dark but sublime. The temple does not possess sculptures of extraordinary merit but it is compensated by many of its legends.
