The sculpture of Adi Kumbeshwara Temple resembles a traditional South Indian temple. The presiding deity here is a Shiva linga. The history of this 17th century temple is steeped in legends. The size of the temple entrance is deceptive as it does not provide any idea about the huge size of the temple. Adi Kumbeshwara Temple has been consecrated on a sprawling 4 acres of land.

One of the most noted features of the temple architecture is its gopuram. It has 9 tiers and rises to a height of 128 feet. The entire structure has been decorated with beautiful figure sculptures and others. The Adi Kumbeshwara Temple comprises the usual architectural elements, such as, the garbhagriha, the mandapa and pillars. The columns of the mandapa (hall) have been designed with painted `yali` or mythical beast brackets. Just in front of main shrine lies the sculpted image of Nandi. Apart from these there are silver vahanas, and pancha loham figures of 63 Nayanmar poet-saints.

One of the most striking features of the sculpture of Adi Kumbeshwara Temple is the design on its Navaratri Mandapam. On a single block of stone all the 12 `rashis` and 27 stars have been etched out on stone. The Kalyana Mandapam, on the other hand, has two nadaswarams carved out of stone. Here one would come across the images of Kiratamurthy and Subramanya.
