This temple has ‘Saptamatrikas’ and depicted in the form of Goddesses. There are also carvings of 8 planets from Vedic astrology excluding Ketu. It is believed that this spot is the place where Parashurama, an avatar of Lord Vishnu punished himself and got penance from Lord Shiva. This is the first temple that has a hall for worshipers. It has a tower and Vimana as a part of its structures which look like most of the South Indian temples. You will find beautifully carved motifs with intricate details on the walls of the temple.
