Ganapathi Temple is in between the Mandiram and the Siva Temple. As is the wont of the devotees, breaking coconuts is the main offering here. Sankaran Kuzhi is a pit on Neyyar course wherefrom Gurudev obtained the holy symbol of Siva. There is cave near temple where Guru’s first disciple Sivalinga Swami had the first meeting of his spiritual guide and refuge. At present this spot too is quite accessible to the pilgrims. Bhairavan Santhi had been the first priest of this Temple. He lived for a full 114 years. Calm, quiet and dignified in demeanour and spiritual by innate nature as he was, a Samadhi building is consecrated in memoriam of that pious soul.
