[1] The temple attracts an estimated 500,000 worshippers and visitors each year, including between 100,000 and 150,000 on the occasion of Maha Shivaratri.

The statue is seated in a meditative posture with his damaru and trishula, as mentioned in the Shiva Purana.

Worshippers often tie saffron-coloured threads in front of Ganesha, in the hope that the deity would resolve their problems.

The Amarnath Pancha Dhama Yatra at the temple takes visitors through a man-made cave on a stony, uneven terrain reminiscent of mountainous regions, where the five holy dhams are located: Haridwar, Rishikesh, Badrinath, Kedarnath, and Amarnath.

The temple supports the homeless by sharing its proceeds with A.i.R Humanitarian Homes, which operates in three locations in Bangalore and cater for up to 600 residents overall.
