on
the

That
Lord
Rama
and
Sri
Anjaneya
appear
together
facing
each
other,
is
a
feature
in
this
temple
only.
With
a
view
to
unite
all
devotees
belonging
to
the
three
important
sects
–
Dwaida,
Advaitha
and
Visishtathvaida
philosophies,
shrines
for
Lord
Ganapathi
and
Sri
Anjaneya
were
created. The
managing
committee
also
built
a
lecture,
fine
arts
hall
for
musical
and
dance
performances. This
was
inaugurated
by
His
Holiness
Sri
Sri
Abhinava
Vidya
Theertha
Swamigal
of
Sri
Sringeri
Sharada
Peetam. A
team
was
also
set
up
by
the
devotees
for
the
construction
of
a
Raja
Gopuram
and
Dwajasthamba.
The
foundation
for
these
was
laid
on
3-2-2006. For
the
purpose
of
the
construction,
the
sanctum
sanctorum
was
readjusted. Lord
Rama
and
Anjaneya
are
facing
south. A
Navagraha
shrine
then
came
into
being
on
the
eastern
side.
Aesthetic
sculptures
adore
the
front
frame
of
the
sanctum
sanctorum. The
silver
covered
doors
are
decorated
with
carvings
of
Mahalakshmi
in
Her
eight
forms. The
temple
has
a
box
of
papers
containing
13
crore
Rama
Namas.
There
are
beautiful
sculptures
of
Nruddha
Ganapathy,Siddhi
Buddhi
Ganapathy,
Bala
Ganapathi,
Punnaimara
Krishnan,
Dasavathara
Rama,
Yoga
Rama,
in
the
Prakara
circle. The
lime
mortar
(Suddhai)
sculptures
of
Adhi
Sankara,
Sri
Ramanuja,
Madhvacharya,
Lord
Shiva,
Vinayaka,
Aiyappa,
Sri
Rama
Pattabishekam
add
additional
beauty
throughout
the
prakara. The
temple
complex
is
an
outstanding
example
of
sculptural
skills
of
Tamilnadu.
