The presiding deity Lord Sundareswarar has a sanctum facing east and Goddess Soundaranayaki has a sanctum facing south. Connecting the two sanctuaries is a large square hall in which Nandi faces the Lord. To the right of the entrance hall of the sanctum sanctorum is a Saturn facing east. The sanctum sanctorum of the temple is surrounded by a high platform, which looks like a temple rising four feet above the ground. Dakshnamoorthy, Perumal and Durga are in the sanctum sanctorum. The place of Brahman is empty. Sanders are in the usual place. A separate sanctum for Ganesha and Valli are the same as Sametha Murugan. A separate temple has been built for Iyappan in the northwest (new addition).
