Maha Mandapam

By moving through in two ways in Maha Mandapam  we can worship both Moolavar( Lord Balasubramanian) and Lord Arumuga.From a spot called Maniyadi, we can worship Lord Balasubramanian.

Opposite to Maniyadi,  Parvathi Amman and Kariyamanicka Vinayagar can be seen. Veerabagu Devar  is at the left and Veera Mahendra Dever at the right side of Moolavar.

Moolavar

Moolavar a lithic figure is seen with 4 arms and Jadamudi in pooja posture facing east. At right side of Moolavar lies silver sripali and at left side golden sripali.

At the back side wall of Sanctum sanctorum the image of  Jagannathar lingam is curved. Moolavar is worshiping  this sivan only. Opposite to Moolavar we can see two peacocks, and a Nandhi the vahana of Jaganathar lingam.

Pancha Lingam

     By  going  round  the sanctum sanctorum we can see 5 lingams.  A hole can be seen next to Pancha lingam at the northern side.  It is believed that Devas are coming through this hole and perform pooja.
