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. The temple contains some wonderful pieces of sculpture and architecture. Its main Gopuram is 128 feet high and has many intricately carved sculptures on it. On a single block of stone in the Navaratri Mandapam all the 27 stars and 12 'Rashis' (signs) have been carved out. The image of Lord Subramanya, enshrined in this part of the temple, is a rare specimen. It has six heads but only six hands holding different kinds of weapons. This article is a stub.
