Prayers
Generally,
this temple is suggested for worship for those born under the star Avittam as
Lord Brahma attained wisdom on Avittam star day in the month of Aavani. It
is advised that Avittam star people should visit this temple on Avittam star
day or birthday or on the Avittam star day falling in the month of Avani
(August-September) and follow a step by step pradakshina to release themselves
from their planetary effects and to break the obstacles in their marriage and
child birth.
As
there are lines in foot too similar to fingers, it is advised that the step by
step pradakshina should be done by pressing the feet so that the prints should
be recorded in the temple soil. Devotees pray here for the education
of their children, business development, family unity and mental peace. It
is believed that praying the twin Nandhis in the temple with a garland made of
cashew and groundnut would fetch expected results to the devotee. Unmarried
girls offer Vishnu Durga a garland of turmeric sticks for getting good
alliances.
