It is learnt that Ganapathy Sannathy in a Balaji temple is unusual as per the practice in South. This may be due to the stature of Ganapathy in Maharashtra.

They also maintain a garden opposite the temple and full of shade-giving trees. There are steps to reach the temple from both the side of the small hillocks.
