The presiding deity is a linga, considered to be ‘swayambhu’ (naturally occurring or self originated).[1] The temple has seven small independent pillars in front of the Vishnu shrine and when struck they produce 'saptaswara' (the seven musical notes).[3] The gopurams of the temple are unfinished and were described by architectural historian James Anderson as ‘wonders’.[4]
