With the participation of devotees plans are underway for the construction of a spacious mandap and a five tier Rajagopuram for the temple.  The Government of Tamilnadu has appointed a committee for the purpose.

Devotees begin the education of their children in the temple by writing the Pranava mantra on their tongue.  Devotees believe that instead of visiting various temples for remedy from the adverse aspects of the planets, worshipping Lord Vinayaka in this temple would suffice as He is the Lord of all planets.  Lord Vinayaka removes the obstacles faced by devotees in wedding matters, grants child boon and fulfils all their aspirations in life.  The devotee crowd is swelling in the temple day by day.  It is the staunch faith of the devotees that Lord Vinayaka is their only source to achieve a life of all happiness and wealth.

The idol of Lord Vinayaka is huge in size.  The forehead alone is 2.5 feet broad.  The trunk is right circled – Valanchuzhi.  Of His four hands, he holds the piece of ivory in the right hand He used for writing the Mahabharatha Epic to the dictation of Sage Vysa, Angusa in upper right hand, jack fruit in the left lower and whip (Paasam) in the left upper hand.  He is holding the nectar pot in the trunk as a sign  of Mother Mahalakshmi the Goddess of Wealth.  The idol is mounted on phallus designed as Lotus.  There is also a Lotus in His left foot.  The Vasuki serpent He is wearing as a belt around His hip assures remedy from the adverse aspects of the serpent planets Rahu and Ketu.  As He appears as male from the right side and a female on the left, He looks Lord Arthanareeswara combining Lord Shiva and Mother Parvathi.

The majestic appearance of Lord Mundhi Vinayaka seems to be a sculptural translation of Shivagama Sastra saying “Karastha Kathalisoodha Panaseshaka Modhagam, Bala Surya Prabhakaram, Vande Bala Ganapathim”.  Being under the Bodhi Satwa tree – Arasamaram in Tamil – Lord Mundhi Vinayaka showers boon falls on the devotees seeking His grace.

In size, Lord Mundhi Vinayaka is the largest idol in the Asian continent.  21 skilled sculptors put in their might in making the idol.  The choice of the stone was also not easy.  They searched in many place and finally picked up a huge rock in Oothukuli near Coimbatore from a pit 20 feet deep free of any flaw.  They designed there itself with some approximate calculations.  It took six long years to make the idol and the sculptors working very devotionally with a mind of penance.

The idol is 19 feet 10 inches tall and 11 feet 10 inches broad weighing 190 tonnes -1,90, 00 kilograms.  He was brought to this spot on a cart specially made for the purpose.  A slanting track was made with perfect calculations to lift the idol to the point of installation which took 18 days.  No machine was employed for lifting .  It was only manually done with chains and ropes and rolling balls.

The consecration was presided over by His Holiness Sri Jayendras Saraswathi in the year 1998.
