Upadevas

Ganapathy
Ganapathy, Lord Shiva's first son is described as the supreme leader (Vinayaka) or as the leader of the Ganas (Ganapathy) who attends upon and follows at all times Lord Shiva, or as the Lord of all obstacles (Vigneswara). As he is the Lord of obstacles no hindu ritual or auspicious act is ever undertaken without invoking Him. With his grace, it is believed that no undertaking can fail due to subjective or objective obstacles. Therefore in almost all temples Ganapathy will find a place among upadevas either in the form of deity or sankalpa. Here the Ganapathy Shrine is situated at the Kanni corner i.e.

south western corner in the nalambalam. Ganapathy homa is performed in the specially built homakunda infront of the deity daily. The main offerings are Ganapathy homa, Karuka homa, Pushapanjali etc.

Lord Subrahmania is installed in a shrine in the western side of the Nalambalam. The idol is in resemblance to the idol installed in the great Subrahmania Temple at Palani. Milk abhisheka is performed here daily. The important Vazhipads are Trikalapooja, and Panaka Pooja.
