The temple faces east with a 3-tier Rajagopuram. Balipeedam, Dwajasthambam, and Garudan are housed in a mandapam after the Rajagopuram. The sanctum sanctorum has three shrines: Sri Srinivasa Perumal at the center, Thayar Padmavathy on the right, and Andal on the left. No idols are found in the koshtas.
An open mukha mandapam from the Vijayanagara Nayak period stands in front of the sanctum. Stucco images on the top depict Srinivasa Perumal (like Tirupati Balaji), Padmavathi Thayar seated on the right, and Andal on the left. Additionally, Vishnu with Sridevi and Bhudevi on Adiseshan is seen on both sides.
Some other pillar's pothyal is used as a pothyal for this pillar
In the prakaram, sannadhis are present for Anjaneyar, Nammalwar, Ramanujar, Desikan, Hayagriva, Varadharaja Perumal with Sridevi and Bhudevi, Garudan, Chakrathalwar, and Yoga Narasimhar.
The temple was rebuilt in recent years. Based on the style of the mukha mandapam pillars, the original construction is estimated to belong to the 16th–17th Century (Vijayanagara period). No inscriptions have been found here.
