Lord Muruga on his peacock vahan, Kamadhenu, Adiyavar, Idumban, sage Markandeya, Vishnu, Aiyanar, Sun, Velayudhar, Bhoodha, Vinayaka, Lord Sri Rama and Lakshmana appear in the pillars of Maha Mandap.  The episode of Saint Sundarar reclaiming the child from the mouth of the crocodile is beautifully depicted in the Vadhya Mandap.  There is a shrine for Lord Bhairava in the temple.

Devotees pray to Lord Velayutha Swami for family happiness.

It is believed that a piece of Sanjeevi mount fell in this part of the Kongu region while Sri Anjaneya was carrying it to save Lord Sri Rama and Lakshmana.  People here call it Sanjeevi or Oodhiyur hill.  The temple is on this hill.  Passing through the Mayil Mandap – peacock hall, is the Paada Vinayagar temple with shrines for Idumban and Hanumantharayan on the north and south side of way respectively.  There is a mandap at the top called Kurattu Vasal.  The darshan of Lord Velayuthaswami in the hill that was home to many Siddhas in the past, would keep the devotee ever free from poverty in life.

There is a cave in the hill where Kongana Siddhar performed penance and had the darshan of Lord Shiva.  He used clay tubes and passed air through mouth breathing to make gold by pouring the essence of herbal leaves.  There are some such clay tubes still in the hill.  Hence the place is called Oodhiyur Malai and also Kongana Giri linked with the life of Kongana Siddha.
