Outside the temple, near the north eastern corner the shrine for the powerful planet god Sani (Saturn) was built. Tamil Hindus venerated Sani with the lighting of oil lamps on four Saturdays in autumn. Worshippers bring the offering trays to be blessed by Sani and to be taken home for the family shrine.
