Just a stone's throw away from the fort is the Omkareshwara Temple, built in 1820 and featuring a blend of red-tile roofed Kerala architecture and Islamic-style domes. Other must-sees are the tombs of Dodda Vira Raja, his wife and their son Lingaraja, which are oddly Islamic with domes and trellis work. Raja's Seat, perched atop a hill, is where the kings of yore spent many pleasant evenings watching the golden sunset.
