The Ajjinikanda<\/a>   ainmane<\/a> comprises ten rooms, with an oth\u00e9 pore<\/em> , two Ubba<\/a> stones at the entrance, and two steps leading to the front yard (thotti<\/em>).
Inside, a n\u0113le<\/em> (wooden beam) hangs from the ceiling, along with a Gajalakshmi hanging lamp symbolizing prosperity. A gud (niche) is built into the western and southern walls for ritual or decorative use.<\/p>\n

In front of the house stands a kall b\u014dtti (stone pillar) intricately carved with a crescent moon, floral motifs, and a Nandi at the top, with additional floral carvings at the base. The door frame bears geometric patterns, while the windows feature carvings of lotuses and the goddess Gajalakshmi. The capitols are adorned with depictions of birds, and finely crafted wooden aimaras<\/strong> (seating platforms) complete the interior ensemble.<\/p>\n

These ornamental and symbolic elements reflect both the aesthetic sensibilities and religious devotion characteristic of Kodava architecture.<\/p>\n
