Narayana Temple at Ane-Kannambadi built in 1100 A.D is a Trikootachala,
three celled temple raised on a stellate parapet. The main cell houses
a fine image of Kesava (one of the 24 forms of Maha Vishnu). The unique
feature of the form is that the Lord holds Shanka in upper right hand
and Chakra in the upper left. The lower right hand holds Padma and the
lower left has Gada. To the left of Kesava we find Lakshmi-Narasimha
image and to the left we see Venu-gopala. The main sanctum to Kesava is
stellate in plan while the other two are square in shape.
