The importance of the idol is that Sri Vigneswara and Sri Anjaneya are the only two deities who are totally free from any influence over them whatsoever by the Navagrahas. Many people visit the temple to receive a blessing of the 'Twins' against the influence of Navagrahas. There is a Tamil saying 'Begin with Ganesa and end up with Anjaneya'. The word Aadiyantha stands for 'beginning to end' (Aadi = beginning & Antha = end). At Madya Kailas temple Adyar Madras, the idol is an amalgam of Sri Vigneshwara and Sri Anjaneya in the style of Ardhanareeswara (Siva and Parvati) and Sri Sankaranarayana (a combination of Siva and Narayana). There is a belief that one of the faces is that of Sri Vinayaka.Half Ganesha and half HanumanThe idol of Adyanta Maha Prabhu depicts a figure of half Anjaneya and half Vinayaka. Maybe an artist thought over about this before making the Vigraham. Each of his faces represent these five divine qualifications. We find all these 5 qualities enshrined in Hanuman. In the Bhagavat Gita, Lord Krishna tells Arjun, 'He who acts for me, who is engrossed in me, who is my devotee, who is free from attachment, he reaches me'.
