The cloisters are filled with images of deities from the [[Hindu epic]]s. The changes made inside the temple have hidden any evidence of older structures. The [[Garbhagriha|sanctum sanctorum]] has the central image of a fierce form of the goddess [[Durga]], multi-armed (eight shoulders<ref name="Idol">{{Cite web|url=http://www.kamat.com/kalranga/temples/marikamba.htm|title= Marikamba Temple of Sirsi|access-date=13 August 2013|publisher=Kamat's Potpourri}}</ref>), riding a tiger and killing a demon. It is believed{{by whom|date=April 2019}} that the {{Convert|7|ft|m|adj=mid|-tall}} image was retrieved from a pond on the road to [[Hangal]]. The temple has very special paintings of murals in [[Kaavi art]], an art form which was popular in the coastal [[Konkan]] region of Karnataka. In this art form, now extinct, the top plastered layer of the mural was first dyed with a red pigment, which when removed revealed a lower white layer of plaster over which the murals were created.<ref name=Rough>{{cite book|title=SouthIndia|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=sEhJBfbhTAAC&pg=PA262|access-date=12 August 2013|year=2003|publisher=Rough Guides|isbn=978-1-84353-103-6|pages=262–}}</ref>

Following the protest by Gandhi, there was a social movement in the town to abolish animal sacrifice, this movement was spearheaded by Keshwain, chief trustee of the temple, in association with Vitthal Rao Hodike, a teacher and dedicated [[Gandhian]] of the town. objectives of this movement were fulfilled.<ref name=Idol/>
