Of the four famous Sree Rama Swamy temple in Kerala, "Tiruvangad Sree Rama Swamy Temple" under the Malabar Devaswom Board has certain specialities of its own. The Sanctum Sanctorum of this particular temple is neither circular nor square or Gaja prishtam. This type of architecture is termed as "Vesara". The palatial Two Storied Sanctum Sanctorum has its roofing paved with teak wood panels covered with copper sheets and adorned with two golden domes (Thazhikakudam).Hence the temple is known as "Brass pagoda"

KIRATHARJUNEEYAM the story of Arjuna's encounter with Lord Shiva is depicted through the beautiful carvings on the twenty wooden pillars supporting the ceiling of the sanctum Sanctorum. The dragon faces in the corners are the very good examples of legendary carpentership of the old days Perunthachans. The skill of the carpenters can be clearly seen from the fact that the points where the wooden structures are joined together are not vibsible. It is our primary duty to see that such a wonderful structure has to be preserved without any blemish to hand over to our posterity.
