The Temple had acquired its name, Courthill Ganesar as the previous high court was adjacent to the temple. Most lawyers who had represented clients at this court would pray at this temple for a favorable outcome. if the verdict was favourable, the lawyers would contribute towards the unkeep of the temple in gratitude. Also there is 'vilvam' (bael) tree in the temle itself. The tree has been in the temple since inception and is also a focal point in the temple. Devotees who circumbulate the temple will stroke the bark of the tree and then proceed to prostrate before Lord Ganesha.
