Stones, Lime mortar ground and egg were the primary construction materials used for building and plastering. The stones, windows used for the construction were brought from Karur. Granite stones were used for the construction of pillars and arches. There are 10 stone pillars measuring 2.5 meters circumference and 2.3 meters height. The building has five arches, in which hexagonal structure is carved in the middle out of a square pedestal. There is an inscription marked at the entrance stating Only God in both Tamil and Ya Kudah in Arabic language.[2][3]
