The temple follows Vaikasana Agama. The temple
priests perform the pooja (rituals) during festivals and on a daily basis.
Like other Vishnu temples of Tamil Nadu, the priests belong to
the Vaishnavite community, a Brahmin sub-caste. The temple rituals
are performed six times a day: Ushathkalam at
7:30 a.m., Kalasanthi at 8:00 a.m., Uchikalam at
12:00 p.m., Sayarakshai at 5:00 p.m., Irandamkalam at
6:00 p.m. and Ardha Jamam at 7:30 p.m. Each ritual has three steps: Alangaram (decoration),
neivethanam (food offering) and deepa aradanai (waving of lamps) for
both Vaikunta Nathan and Vaikunda Valli. During the last step of worship,
religious instructions in the Vedas are recited by priests and
worshippers prostrate themselves in front of the temple mast.
Festivals
The 10 days Vaikasi Brahmotsavam, celebrated during
the Tamil month of Vaikasi (May–June) and Vaikunta Ekadashi celebrated
