Lakshmis on the crown on all four sides, two Lakshmis i.e Sridevi And Bhudevi

Perumal, Kakkaathar, Vaishnavi are the niche idols around the sanctum. Mother
is called as Shenbagavalli. The temple has a special shrine for Thirumazhisai
Alwar who was born in Thirumazhisai.

relieved from debts, fever related deceases, obstacles for the marriage, etc..), Chakkarathalwar,
Lakshmi Narasimhar, Andal, Vedanta Desikar, Thirumazhisai Piran, and Alwars can
be found in the prakaram. Adjoining the main shrine in the temple, there is a newly-built

Spacious mandapam has been built for the Convenience of the devotees.
This
Anjaneya is a varaprasadi who fulfills the wishes of devotees. Regular and
devoted worship has reduced the various kinds of sufferings of many persons.
People narrate positive results experienced as a result of praying at the
shrine. At the entrance to the main temple stands a tall idol of Anjaneya Swamy
