In the name of hair collecting license, the hair offered
by the pilgrims was auctioned by open auction or tender system. In fasli 1418
the tender amount was less than the previous year, so the temple itself
collected the hairs and sold it directly.
During Thai Poosam, the pilgrims from Edappadi offer
their hair on the river bank at Manoor to a large extent. To collect the hair
of the large number of the pilgrims, for the first time, temporary tonsuring sheds
have been established at Manoor river bank. The temple administration provides
food to tonsuring labourers with temple license. It is done to avoid waiting of
the by pilgrims for a long time and also to prevent the outside tonsuring
labours from tonsuring and collecting hair unauthorized.
Free Dharshan facility is offered to every hair offering
woman and to one member along with her.
The tonsuring place maintained by temple has been
modernized with enhanced hygienic conditions. At present, for the ever increasing
pilgrims to hair dedication a new tonsuring spot has been additionally
established near Pathavinayagar Temple. Tiruvavinankudi Temple Mudi shed is
modernized with Tiled flooring, False Roofing and Air-conditioning facilities.
