The temple is built in a circular fashion, completely put together with blocks of sandstone.
The inside of the circular wall has cavities, each housing the statue of a Goddess.
There are around 56 such idols, made of black granite, inscribed within the wall cavities, centring on the main idol which is the Goddess Kali, who stands on a human head representing the triumph of the heart over the mind.
The temple houses a central altar (Chandi Mandapa) which has the remaining 8 Goddess idols on all 4 sides.
Some historians believe that an idol of Maha Bhairava was worshiped in the Chandi Mandapa.
