Temple Layout - The Rajagopuram stands tall on a massive rock, boasting seven tiers that add to its grandeur. Upon entering the outer prakaram through the gateway, we are greeted by the sannidhi of Valampuri Vinayaka, who is also revered as the 'Sthala' Vinayakar of this temple. Moving on to the sannidhi of Vinayaka, we are met with the sight of Gyanasambandhar, holding an instrument that bears a striking resemblance to a percussion. Adjacent to the Valampuri Vinayaka, we find the Viswanatha Lingam and this prakaram also houses a sannidhi dedicated to Annamalayar. As we pass through another gateway, we draw closer to the sanctum of the presiding deity Athulyanathar, west-facing, which is surrounded by a moat-like structure. Within the prakaram, encircling the sanctum, we encounter sannidhis devoted to Navagraha, Bhairava, a stone-carved Narayana, Narthana Ganapathy, and Mahavishnu in a standing posture, holding his Sudharshan Chakra. The stone idols of Saptha Mathas are meticulously aligned in a row. Additionally, the Nataraja sabha is also nestled within this prakaram.

Sri Soundra Kanakambika, the female deity, is positioned in her sannidhi facing south. In this temple, Lord Muruga is portrayed with one face and six hands holding weapons, and is accompanied by his consorts Valli and Deivayanai in a north facing sannidhi.
