On the left side of the main shrine is the temple of Mahasaraswati and on the right is the Mahakali temple. The Shri Yantra is carved on one of the corners opposite Mahakali Temple in the temple premises. There are several other shrines in the courtyard dedicated to Navagrahas, Surya, Mahishasuramardini, Vitthal-Rakhmai, Krishna, Swami Smarth Dashavartar, Ram Mandir, Mahavishnu, Hanuman, Laxmi-Narayan, Khandoba, Atibaleshwar, Kalbhairav, Sidhivinyak, Lord Datta, and Tulja Bhavani. The complex also has a temple tank Manikarnika Kund, near Datta Mandir.Kirnotsav is celebrated in the Mahalakshmi Temple at Kolhapur when the rays of the sun fall directly on the deity at the time of sunset. It is said that the Sun god pays his homage to Mahalakshmi Ambabai for three days in a year on the occasion of 'Rath Saptami' (during January every year). On the first day, ray falls on the feet, on the second day, on the middle portion of the deity, and the third day on the face of the deity.
