      We then go to West Prahara and worship Sastha Sannadhi and go to the Sanndhi of Sri Rama and Seetha seated gracefully with Laksmana and Hanumantha standing with folded hands.


   When we reach North Praharam we see Lord Muruga with valli and Deivayanai in a beautiful form. Next we see Jayantheeswara temples It is beleived that Pancha Pandavas worshipped these temples during their exile(Vanavasa). They are therefore called Pancha Pandava temples.Here we find temples temples seperately for Narayaneswara, Mahadeva,Rameswar,Sri Chakram,Durgai and Kannan.


   Next we come to East Prahara and see Garudazhwar and Kondraiyadi Nadhar.There is a  big statue of a stone bull, 12 1/2 feet tall opposite to the 'Thanumalaya' shrine. After this, we see the Garuda Mandapam near Kondraiyadi Sannadhi. Here 6 1/2 feet Garudazhwar is seen with folded hands offering prayers to Lord vishnu in the temple. Opposite to this, is the Kodimandapam.We find flag posts Opposite to Thirumal and siva temples.
