The ceiling system is composed of four primary interconnected components:
| Component Name | Description & Functional Role |
| 1. Central Coffered Grid (Chithra Thattu) | A suspended or direct-mounted waffle grid created by intersecting wooden runners. The recessed panels between the framework create a three-dimensional coffered ceiling effect. |
| 2. Carved Bosses / Pendents (Poo Motty) | Intricately carved floral or inverted-bud wood embellishments affixed to every intersection of the coffered grid. |
| 3. Sloping Rafters & Scalloped Trim (Uttupura / Kazhukolu) | Structural/decorative sloping wooden rafters with ornamental scalloped or wave-patterned lower edges extending toward the perimeter walls. |
| 4. Solid Wooden Planking (Ceiling Boarding) | Tongue-and-groove solid wood planks fitted behind the rafters and grid to seal the ceiling plane and provide structural backer. |
