The exterior wall wall is 3 m high and is interrupted in two places; the first time by the entrance to the east, as for all the shivaïtes temples, in the form of a gopura in three passages, then again in the middle of its western facade by another gopura of identical style but not pierced passages. The first body of the sanctuary is decorated with nice classical rondes and a very beautiful lintel named Indra dancing on the three heads of the Airavata elephant. You can meet on site a francophone achar (pagoda assistant) who will be happy to guide you and show you the flowers that it grows in the aisles of the temple, all in the middle of a cloud of children coming swimming in its basins. Access to the temple is not paid, but you can always leave a tip.
