Offerings
Performing Vazhivadus at this temple is beneficial as it allows devotees to observe the ceremonies from near the Sreekovil, instead of having to stand in front of an Sopanam. This proximity to the idol enables a more personal experience for those who visit.
The most important Vazhivadus here are the Poomoodal and Muttarukkal.
