The
holy temple enshrining the august triple deities - Sri
Nagareswaraswamy, Mother Kanyakaparameswari and Mahishasuramardini
is of recent
origin. It is built in strict accordance with vastu sastra and so
possessing sturdy prakaras, tall gopuras, spacious courtyards,
several minishrines, vast garbhagrihas, grand mukhamandaps etc. It
faces east, and a tall tower surmounting over the broad mahadwara
beckons the visitors with its beautiful sculptural pieces adoring it
from top to bottom and on all four sides too.
In front of it lies a
vast courtyard with several buildings housing the office room,
choultry and quarters for the staff. In the second prakara, there
are many mandaps installed with adorable deities, like Vinayaka,
Balaji, Navagrahas, besides the exquisitely made colourful statues
of Mother Kanyakaprameswari standing in fire pit with parents by her
side.
