Hence the significance of the temple is immense. However what attracts devotees and tourists alike is a unique occurance every year. In the month of January, on the auspicious occasion of Makarsankranti, a ray of sunlight passes through the horns of the bull Nandi which is situated outside the temple and lights up the Gavi Ganagadareshwara idol inside the cave.

Since India is a country of varied religions,there are times when certain events go unnoticed. Similarly the once a year event of natural lighting of a part of the Sri Gavi Gangadareshwara Temple is at times not really known by most.
