The goddess shrine faces you as you enter and the main deity can be seen from the same spot. Outside the sanctum santorum’s entrance are Bala Vinayaka and Bala Muruga. A single Prakaram houses all the shrines and the sanctum sanctorum. On the north side of the Prakaram are shrines for Mahalakshmi and Saraswathi.
