Sri Subrahmanya Swamy : The main entrance to the temple is through the Gopuram on the west side. This leads to a large court yard and  devotees will have to walk  round to the East side to go to the Sanctum Sanctorium for offering worship to Sri Subrahmanya Swamy.  A silver clad Garuda pillar stands tall  between the Sanctorium and the newly constructed portico. Beyond this pillar is the outer Mantapa and then the inner Mantapa and finally  the Sanctum Sanctorium of Sri Subrahmanya. There is a pedesal in the center of Sanctorium. On the upper dais stands the idol of  Sri Shanmukha and then the idol of Vasuki and little lower the idol of Maha Shesha. Panchamritha Mahapooja and ‘Utsava’ of these deities takes place daily.

Kukke-linga : To the north of the S. S  lie  a cluster of lingas (Shiva Lingas) known as ‘Kukkelingas’. Some believe that the lingas  got the name simply because people used to worship them together by keeping them in a basket (kukke in Kannada ). Now they have been installed behind  S. S.  The car festival of Kukkelinga takes place every year on Makara Sankramana. At present, many families  worship Kukkelinga as the titular deity of their families. According to  legend, Sri Shanmugaswamy installed Shiva Lingas in three places in order to get rid of the sin resulting from killing the demon Tarakasura. Afterwards  many Gods and sages installed many more Lingas. In course of time worshippers  collected these  Lingas and placed them inside the temple.  

Bhairava Devaru : To the south of the sanctorium is the shrine of Lord Bhairava. According to  legend  this is Kapaleshwara installed by  Sri Shanmugha Swamy himself. This must have been installed in the present place later on but the origin of the place seems to be uncertain. 

Uma - Maheshwara Devaru : These icons can be found in the north-eastern sanctuary on the inner side of the temple wall. Icons of  Surya, Ambika, Vishnu and Ganapathi are also seen. Among these,  Sunand Ambika dates back to ancient times.   According to  legend these icons were installed  by the great Narada. Devotees of the Bhagavatha tradition might have collected these icons at one place. These images are as powerful as they are ancient. Special worships are offered to Ambika during Navarathri. Festivities take place on Shivarathri for  Umamaheshwara. Sun god is worshipped on Rathasaptami.

Vedavyasa Samputa Narasimha Devaru : We find this deity in the south-eastern sanctum. It is said that the Vedavyasa Samputa and the image of Lakshmi Narasimha handed over to Sri Madhwacharya by Sri Vedavyasa are of paramount importance.  To the south and the north are situated the temples of Bhairava and Umamaheshwara. Festivals are celebrated here for three days on the occasion of Narasimha Jayanthi in ‘Vaishaka Masa’. The deity belongs to the Swamijis of local Mathas  and is worshipped by them. 

Subrahmanya Matha :  Subrahmanya Matha belonging to Dwaitha tradition of  Madhwa Sampradaya is situated to the south-east of the outer quadrangle of the temple. It is said that Sri Madhwacharya made his brother Vishnu Thirthacharya his disciple and gave this Matha to him. Hence this Matha  is also called  Vishnuthirthacharya  Samsthana. 

Sringeri Matha : This is situated to the north-east of the temple compund. The deity here is Chandramauleshwara. He is regularly worshipped with Panchaparva Nandadeepa. This Matha is under the management of the temple and  rituals are conducted on its behalf. 

Darpana Thirtha : A streamlet called Darpana Tirtha flows from north to south in front of the temple.
