The
square-shaped mukhamandapa in front of the srikoil is also highly embellished with
woodcarvings on the coiling, illustrating the story of Ramayana. Here the craft of the
skilled carpenter has reached unsurpassed perfection and the figures are realistically
modeled with idealistic dignity and finished in every detail with perfect accuracy.
There is also a longitudinal edifice in front of the Mandapa leading to the balika1pura on
the outside of which stands a flagstaff. The entire temple is surrounded by a modern-built
chuttambalam covered over with Mangalore tiles. The walls of the chuttambalam are
ornamented with exquisite mural paintings depicting scenes from the Ramayana. |
