Please help me to resolve my error.

The error is generated because you don't pass the $model correctly to the view.

Change you actionLogin() in your SiteController.php to

public function actionLogin(){

 //$this->layout = 'main';
 $model = new LoginForm();

 if(isset($_POST['ajax']) && $_POST['ajax'] === 'login-form')
 {
    echo CActiveForm::validate($model, array('email', 'password', 'verifyCode'));
    Yii::app()->end();
 }

 if (isset($_POST['LoginForm'])) {
    $model->attributes = $_POST['LoginForm'];
    if ($model->validate() and $model->login()) {
        $array = array('login' => 'success');
        Yii::app()->user->setFlash('success', 'Successfully logged in.');
        $json = json_encode($array);
        echo $json;
        Yii::app()->end();
    } else {
        echo CActiveForm::validate($model);
        Yii::app()->end();
    }
 }

 $this->render('login', array(
    'model' => $model,
  ));
}

Changes needed in your main.php file

 $login_form_model = new LoginForm();
 $this->renderPartial("_ajax_login_form",  array( 
                        'login_form_model' => $login_form_model,
                         )
                     );
