In reply to Ramesh T R. Ramesh ji - Rishabh means a bull, and Nandi is the name of Shiva's bull. So Yes, the mandapa can be called Nandi Mandapa or the Rishabh Mandapa.

The “Nandi” Pavillion is actually a Rishab Pavillion. Nandhi is the head of Siva Ganas. He has the same form of Siva. Rishab is the vahana of Siva.

2. The Pavilion we see today was later day addition which actually blocks the sun rays entering the sanctum – as it did during Rajaraja days.

In reply to Karthikvelu. Karthikvelu, at this temple I was more mesmerized by the architecture - the sheer poetry in stone.
