 We can find the ruins of temples all round the lake which stand testimony to the fact that it was part of a great temple complex.The sreekovil (sanctum sanctorum), namaskara-mandapam, thitappalli, and shrines of Jala-Durga and the entrance of the cave are located in the lake.The namaskara mandapam is connected to the eastern rock by a foot-bridge which is the only passage to the sreekovil.
