The temple building is very simple in appearance. It consists of a small room elevated to a height of 4 feet. The entire temple building is only 10 feet high. The main entrance faces east. Unlike other temples in the region, this temple does not have a wooden door. The temple is open to devotees all the time. According to the traditions prevalent in the region, only male members of the clan are allowed to visit the temple.
