Gopuram

This seven-storeyed gopuram is the main east entrance to the complex. It is flanked on either side by pavilions with moulded bases. Each of its seven storeys has rows of alternating shala and kuta shrines. Ramayana scenes and Vishnu divinities, including a Dashavatara panel are carved on the side walls of the passageway.
