The Moola BhErams at our temples are constructed and consecrated from
materials like Granite , Wood or Svathai ( mortar) . Once consecrated ,
the Lord enters in them and one should not consider them to be made of
any one of the above earthly materials . There are however
Svayam Vyaktha ( self-manifested ) Moola BhErams like Sri Rangam ,
ThiruveLLUr et al , where the entire Moorhty is made of Saalagraama Silaa.
They are given Thaila abhishEkam every year during specific periods
to preserve them from any physical or accidental damages during
the year's aarAdhanam. Being Saalagrama Moorthys , Bhagavan never
leaves them even if there is a bhinnam ( damage) . Special combination of
Moolikais and ingredients are soaked in oil and that Thailam is absorbed
by the Moola BhEram for specific periods of time .At that time , sevai is
not possible due to the nature of the siruation . Once the Thailam is
absorbed
so that there is no possibilty of cracking from drying , Moolavar is ready
to give
His darsanam . It is age old practise . In some temples like Oppiliappan
KOil ,
Thiruvengadam , PerumAl does not recieve Thaila Kaapu . Oppiliappan
Moola BhEram was constructed and consecrated from one piece of
granite from the hills around Mayilam , some 60 to 80 miles away .
EmperumAn at this dhivya dEsam recieves Thirumanjanam frequently .
> 2) Why is seperate sannidhi not available in any temples for
> Sangathaazhvar
> as Chakrathaazhvar?
ChakratthAzhwAr is BhagavAn's sankalpa Sakthi and as such
recieves seperate worship .Sankham is saluted by AzhwArs
( NaacchiyAr Thirumozhi et al ) . Sankham is Jn~Ana sakthi
and is held in the right hand of Lord ParthasArathy at
ThiruvallikkENi and recieves worship daily as the Lord
recieves worship. Sankha dhvani generates Jn~Anam
in devotees and terror in those who are Bhagavath dhvEshis.
Both are DhivyAyudhams of the Lord and are happy to serve the Lord
according to His sankalpam .

Oppiliappan or Bhakthi archives . Ther eis plenty of information there .
