Sage Pathanjali was the creator of Yoga Sutra. His jeeva samadhi can be found to the left of Lord Brahma Sannidhi.
Every year in the Tamil month of Panguni (March-April) for three days, namely 14, 15 and 16th, the Sun God is said to worship Lord Brahmapureeswarar. There are seven entrances to reach the sannidhi of Lord Shiva. It is a miracle that the sun's rays cross these seven entrances and fall directly on the lingam from 6.15 to 6.45 a.m.

Usually in temples, the devotees stand on both sides of the main deity and worship. But, in Brahmapureeswarar Temple, it is important that the devotee stands within the direct deeksha of Lord Brahma and they are asked to stand directly in front of Him so that their destiny changes for the better.
