The main temple building was constructed using high quality timber imported from China. The intricate carvings in the various halls were done by artisans from China, too.

As the colour Gold represents heaven and royalty, the temple uses this special tone as the main colour theme for the halls which gives it a grand feeling. The roof awnings are layered and dragon motifs made from porcelain bowls sit on the roof which gives the temple much characteristic. Two stone lions, at each side of the temple, are positioned facing the entrance arch.

At both sides of the temple's front building, stands four idols enshrined beside the doors. They are the Four Heavenly King deities. These gods are a standard component in Chinese temples and can be seen "guarding" the doors in most temples.

In the interior of the temple, there are 3 sanctums and an inner courtyard which are connected to one another. This structure is built based on the Chinese traditional building concept and they are, namely - the Front Prayer Hall, the Sacred Prayer Hall and the Dou Mu Prayer Hall.

There are two towers situated in the inner courtyard before the Dou Mu Hall. They are the Bell Tower and the Drum Tower. A huge stone carving depicting nine magnificent dragons spouting crystal clear water into the fountain, sits in this courtyard too. An intricately clay mural of a hundred children, each exulting youthful character, is sculpted on the wall. It is believed that this mural signifies fertility.

This prayer hall houses the Goddess Dou Mu (the principal deity of this temple) besides other deities. Literally known as the Mother Dipper, Goddess Dou Mu sits in the center of the main altar, flanked on both sides by the Nanchen deity and the Beidou deity. The Nine Emperor Gods are seated below the goddess on the same altar.

On both sides of the altar are enshrined deities like the Third Lotus Price (Nezha), the Spirit of the North (Seong Tay Kong), the Cycle God (Tai Sui), the Monkey God ( Sun Wukong), just to name a few.

As you walk to the second sanctum of the temple, you will come across a big urn placed in front of a locked door. This special hall is the most sacred and solemn place in the temple. This sanctuary houses the urns of the Nine Emperor Gods and the enclosed interior of this prayer room is barred to all except those selected by the deities.

The last and the revered sanctum of this temple is where the Goddess Dou Mu is enshrined. She is flanked by the Nanchen deity at the left and Beidou deity at the right. There are carvings of 5 different animals - Dragon, Phoenix, Chicken, Lion and Tiger in this sacred sanctum.
