The flagpole represents the prosperity and pride of the temple. The flagpole base is seated on a square-shaped granite structure, which is worshiped as Kambathadiar . The Altar for shedding the evil thoughts (Bali Peedam in Tamil) is in front of the flagpole, these three structures protect the sanctum from entering negative energies.

The flagpole serves as a divine antenna to receive cosmic energy and communicate the devotees’ prayers to the Almighty. All due respect we pay before the presiding deity must be given to the flagpole.
