The wide foot-steps which take us to the main entrance of the temple are influenced by the ancient architecture however the whole architecture is a confluence of Jainism, Buddhism and Dravidian style. The four high pillars columns are 60 feet in height giving a feel of the Roman architectural style. And just above the entrance door, the sign of Ramakrishna mission is there.
