The architecture is too good to recall 'Thiruvithamcor era'. When we stay in front we will be confused about the time ( will bring our memories to hundred years back). Lot of maintenance required to keep the building perfectly. At present it looks like 'devil's banglaw' . The authorities should work hard to bring it in good shape.
