The temple complex houses four gopurams (gateway towers) ranging from 20–25 feet in height, to the tallest being the eastern Raja Raja Gopuram soaring at 108 feet high. The temple is a significant symbol for the Tamil people, and has been mentioned since antiquity in Tamil literature, such as Manimekalai and Kundalakesi. The present structure was built during 1720 to 1790 after the ancient structure was destroyed by the Portuguese in 1620.

There is an estimated 10,000 sculptures in this newly renovated temple. This temple is also called by this names by many devotees: நயினை ஸ்ரீ நாகபூசணி அம்பாள் கோயில் - Nayinai Sri Nagapooshani Ambaal Temple Nayinai is the meaning of Nainativu in short or also the Shiva name, Nayinaar நயினை (romanized: Nayinai) is written "Nainai" or "Nayinai" in English language.
