Since the temple is under control of Archeological Dept. of India, there is no electricity in the temple. Temple is so constructed to have a sun light on idol from sunrise to sunset.
Since the Ganesh idol is attached to the wall one can not circumnavigate Girijatmaj.
Lenyadri is silent and lonely place. Silence loving people can come here and meditate and have Girijatmaj's blessings.
