Vadakkunnathan is on the northern side, a circular structure, and the deity facing west.
The figure of Siva-Parvati is facing east and just back to Siva, situated in the same
shrine. At the southern and is located the two-storied shrine of Sri Rama also facing
west. Between these two srikolis stands a third one, circular and double storied in shape,
dedicated to Sankaranarayana and it also faces west. This shrine has beautiful murals of
the seventeenth century delineating graphically the story of Mahabharata. There are
mukhamandapams in front of all the three central shrines.
