This is a pair of Temples in the same complex, one for Shiva and the other for Rama. Both Temples have a tall Gopuram surmounting a small entrance chamber leading to a large covered square hall with the sanctum santorum in the middle. The Sanctum is on a raised platform with steps leading up to the antechamber. The Antechamber can accomodate ten to fifteen devotees who can have dharshanof the idol.
In the Ramar Temple I saw many unstripped coconuts hanging in a corner. These have been placed by devotees who will come back on the twenty-first day after hanging it to break it open and offer it to Lord Anjaneya. It is believed that anu prayer made duringt this twenty-one day period will be answered by the deity.
