Within the Chandrabhaga temple complex, there stands an ancient Banyan tree that is revered by devotees along with the Shiva lingas (aniconic representations of Shiva) on the premises. Since banyan trees are believed to be wish-fulfilling and are associated with fertility in Hindu mythology, married couples worship these trees in hopes of bearing children.
