The temple has two seperate prakaras inside. Kolidam river flows close to the temple also Ayyan Vaikkal and Kadamba Thirukkulam.
The Moolavar perumal is Purushothaman seen in Bhujaga sayanam pose facing east. almost all the temples down south god is seen in a resting pose as compared to the north of India. towards the middle of India God is usually seen in a squatting pose.

Kadamba theertham and Kadali viruksham, vimana is Udyoga vimana. the Lord appeared to Kadamba Muni, Thirumangai Alwar, Uparisaravasu and Sanaka sananthana sanathana sanath kumaras.
