The Sastras enjoin the worship of the Panchayatanas consisting of Aditya, Ambika, Vishnu, Ganesa and Maheswara. One of the five beings made the principal deity, and the remaining the subsidiary deities. At Arasavalli, Lord Suryanarayana forms the central figure, while the others occupy minor positions.
