The temple is adorned with beautiful sculptures of Siva as Ardhanari, Bhikshatana, Umasahita, Gangadhara, Kalari .
etc., besides other gods and apsaras which is unusual and has few parallels in contemporary Chola examples.
Lowermost niche has Shiva who is depicted as Ardhnarishvara. This sculpture is a masterpiece with respect to its composition where male and female characteristics are taken into consideration to very minute levels. A look at its face will bewilder you with its charm coming out of its female characteristic.
