the sculpture of domes, arched gates and pillars in nearby a thousand of years old. The
carving of elephants in the temple which seems to be the best work of art of the times of
Pallav. The figures of yaksha, gandharvas, gods and goddesses all around are very well
carved. The ever-peaceful atmosphere of this lonely place is very beautiful. Its natural
beauty of the scene of sun-set in front of the temple is spectacular.
