In  the  centre of  the “ Sabhangan ” , the  Shree Lakshminarayana Mahamaya Temple rises in all its splendid glory, with its three – tiered symmetrical copper plated roofs covering the “Ardha Mantap”, the “Mukhya Mantap”, and the “Vimana” of the Temple (the tallest of the three Mantaps). The “Ardha Mantap” is reached directly from the main gate by a pathway paved with granite stones. From the “Ardha Mantap” one enters the “Mukhya Mantap”, which is the “Sabhagraha” – the main prayer hall in front of the “Gharbhagudi”. The  “Vimana” is an octagonal tower, which tapers into a mild arch in the normal Goan Temple architectural style. The “Vimana” houses the  square “Gharbhagudi”, in which are enshrined the main Deities, viz., Shree Lakshminarayana in an idol form in the southern part and Shree Mahamaya in the form of an Anthill (Rohini) in the northern part. A passage separates the “Gharbhagudi” from the “Mukhya Mantap”. The Passage cuts across and leads to side entrances for the  entry of “Purohits”. Beautiful cupolas cover these entrances. The passage also forms forms a part of the circumbulatory passage around the “Gharbhagudi”. The floors and the walls of the passageway, the “Mukhya Mantap” and the   “Ardha  Mantap”  are all covered with white marble. A silver   “Mukhya Mantap” covers the doors separating the passage and  the  “Mukhya Mantap “(Sabhagraha). This beautiful piece has a curling “Shesha” in the centre from the bottom to the first tier. The panel at tier One depicts the   “Dashavatars”  and the panel above depicts Maha Vishnu on “Shesha Shayana”, with Mukhyaprana (Maruti) on the left and Garuda on the right, in attendance. The  “Mukuta” of the Mukha   Mantap” depicts a “Kirtimukha”. Jaya   and Vijaya are in attendance outside these doors. A wooden (ebony) ceiling, which is adorned by a crystal chandelier in the centre and excellent carvings of thirty-two “Kirtimukhas”, covers the “Mukhya Mantap”. The roofs of all these Mantaps are in a tiered pattern, the top-most being the  roof of the “Vimana”. Each of the three roofs has a “Shikhara” (Kalash) on the top.
