Just in front of the Thiruvanikavu temple there is a temple of Lord 'Mahaganapathi', who assists us in our nisuses paving the path towards success. The main Vazhipadu here is offering cocunut and Ottayappam.

After entering the 'Gopuram' of the 'Thiruvanikavu' temple, in the north eastern part, there is a place for the worship of 'Sarppas'. To the north of the main 'Sreekovil' of the goddess there is another 'Sreekovil', the one of 'Vazhali Bhagavathi', the elder sister of 'Thiruvani kavilamma'. A small 'Sreekovil' of Lord 'Ayyappa' is set to the south of main 'Sreekovil'. The residenceof the goddess of kindness, the mother of all is in between the the 'Sreekovils' of Lord 'Ayyappa' and 'Vazhali Kavilamma'.
