A main feature of the Ekambareshvara temple is the Aayiram Kaal Mandapam, meaning “hallway with a thousand pillars.” It was built by the Vijayanagar Kings. Most of these pillars contain relief carvings, of which Shiva is a popular subject. Nubile maidens, animals, and other deities also graced the stone pillars.
