The Kurichi Kalyana Kothanadaramar temple's Ardhamandapa ceilings are drawn with the 18th century murals. Artists belonging to the Maratha period painted them using herbal dyes depicting the scenes from Ramayana and other sacred epics. This temple is very unique. The 'Ramayana' story is narrated in the ceilings. The bottom of every panel carries a label inscription that are mostly illegible to read. The panels which depict the 'Ashram' of Bharadvaja; the performance of the 'Putrakameshti yaga'; the fainting Dasaratha; Rama, Lakshmana and Sita crossing the Ganges by boat; the fight between Vali and Sugriva; Rama aiming an arrow at Vali; and the coronation of Sugriva are the notable ones.
On the inner ceilings there are some portrait paintings of men and women who helped financially in the execution of these paintings.
