Specifically, in this temple there are two important buildings, namely the Murugan altar and the Ganesha altar which we know as the elephant statue. The Murugan altar is purple, on this altar there is a lotus flower symbol and above it is the Om symbol flanked by two budding coconuts. The lotus symbol is the abode of the gods, and the coconut symbolizes the value of the benefits of a human being. In front of these two altars there is a special building that resembles a pillar. At the top of this pole pinned nine bells as a symbol of the nine holes in the human body.

On the walls are three statues of Lord Murugan, specially designed by a Tamil artist from Medan. While on the left side there is a symbol of Dewata Nawa Sanga, which belongs to Balinese Hinduism. Dewata Nawa Sanga is a symbol of the nine cardinal directions. Where each cardinal direction has a special color that is guarded by different Gods with different types of weapons. Location
