Lord Vinayaka graces on an Avudayar (the seat or peeta on which Shivalingas are installed) in the prakara under a peepal tree-Arasa maram. Behind Him is another Vinayaka facing north. This is a strange form of Vinayaka facing opposite sides.
Saint Tirugnanasambandar and Sage Agasthya are in the mandap in front of Lord Shiva shrine. Sani Bhagwan in the prakara graces with a parrot in his hand. There is also a Vanni tree and a well in the temple complex.
It is worth recalling the story of a well, vanni tree and a Shivalinga deposing in a case of wedding of a girl in Madurai in her favour at Sri Meenakshi Sundareswarar temple, when mischievous relatives tried to defame her. Lord Vanni Vinayaka reminds us this story. There is a Shivalinga right of Vinayaka with two nagas (serpent deity) near by each facing the opposite side. Those facing adverse aspects of serpent planets pray here for relief. Lord Dakshinamurthy in the ghoshta wall has His left hand on a serpent. There are shrines for Lord Nardana Vinayaka and Lord Muruga in the prakara.
