Gopura Vaasal for the Jeeva Samadhi

There is a temple of Lord Arunachala and Abithakuchamba adjoining the Jeeva Samadhi. The Sthala Vriksham is Nagalinga maram. There is also a Magizhampoo Maram in the temple which is of special significance. The Siva Lingam is unique in that the forms of two eyes, Trishul, Pillayar, Ambal, Kala Bhairava can be identified on the face of the Lingam.

Devotees wishing to get their prayers fulfilled can pray to Bade Sahib's Samadhi, offer food items like dates, biscuits etc as Neivedhyam and distribute the food items to the poor /needy just outside the temple after taking some as prasadam for oneself.
