Originally the sanctum sanctorum had a panchaloha idol, and the granite idol presently displayed and worshiped is of much later origin. This original panchaloha idol is now seen enshrined separately in the hall preceding the hall enshrining the sanctum sanctorum.

Pancha-Mukhi Ganesha temple : At the foot of the hill is the Pancha-Mukhi Ganesha temple. This modern temple has an idol of Ganesha with five heads, hence the name Pancha-Mukhi Ganesha. His vahana there is different and away from the usual representation of Ganesha. There, his vehicle is of a lion.
