In  order to increase the size of the construction area and  make it possible to build  a large auditorium,  a large number of pillars were used.  The construction of a mandapa with thousands of pillars was an ideal form of Vijayanagar temple art.

These pillars depict donated kings, queens and imaginary animals of different sizes.

The architecture  was decorated and  the pillars were erected in such a way that they looked imaginary. The secular buildings have Indo-Islamic characteristics, such as the construction of dome and lotus.
