The construction of the fort is of inferior quality as small blocks of stone were used along with bricks for the building of the fortification.

Opposite to this chamber on the western slope of a boulder is a rock cut cell containing a linga on yonipitha, the spout of which is supported by the figure of a dwarf.

On the southern slope there are two rock cut temples, one of them dedicated to Sri Sathyamurthy-Sri Uyyavanda Nachiar (Vaishnavite) and another to Sri Sathyagireeswarar-Sri Venuvaneeswari (Saivite), Which are historically and religiously more important.

The fortress is of great historical significance and was an important stronghold of rebel chieftains in the Polygar Wars.

[2] The fort is maintained and administered by the Archaeological Survey of India as a ticketed monument.
