Devi Mahamayi temple-Mayem

This is a small temple with a beautiful stone Murti of Devi. The original temple must have been very small and can still be seen inside the temple. The temple is small with giant circular pillars and vaulted ceilings like churches. The outside verandah has wooden pillars and a balcao like seating area. A new mandapa is being built which is way larger than the temple.
