 Let me add to Dr. SundarRajan's comments. There is a huge arch with several 
oil lamps at the entrance to the ChakrathAzhwar sannidhi. I used to light up 
108 sesame oil bundles (Ellu Mudichu) on these lamps during my younger days. 
Now the devasthanam is allowing people to offer this right inside the temple 
messing up the floor with oil and the outside arch stays barren.The same story 
goes with the food stall in the famous Garuda Mantapam and the ThulaaBhaaram in 
the ThiruArangathuMutram. Coffee breaks are observed in Gayathri Mantapam where 
Theertha Kumbams( Perumal water pots) are kept.There are so many such 
activities going on in PeriyaKoil which were unthinkable a few decades ago.
