The site, covering about 15 acres nowadays, is under the administration of Archaeological Survey of India and boasts public grounds (Kota Maidanam), a Hanuman shrine (Kota Ambalam), museum (Ravipuram), a sub-jail, open-air amphitheater (Rappadi), as well as a verdant garden—all of which provide both historical profundity and serene spots for tourists.

Founded in the early 15th century by Tamil Brahmin settlers, it features distinctive agraharams.
