Festivals
Every
year in the month of Chittirai (Mar-Apr), on Sadaya Nakshatra (Sadayam
star), the Santhana Kappu is refurbished with Verum Kappu. This
is believed to be the treatment for the blood that oozed out of the deity
because of the king's attack. 10-day Brahmotsavam in the Tamil month of Vaikasi
(May-June), wedding festival on the Vaikasi Visakam day, Masi Float festival
(Theppam in Tamil) in the Tamil month of Masi (Feb-Mar) and Vasantha Utsavam in
the Tamil month of Aani (June-July) are the main festivals celebrated in this
temple. Pradosham is also observed regularly.

Prayers
The
garlands offered to Nandi Deva during the pujas are worn by the devotees facing
wedding problems and those concerned about the health of their children. But
this practice is not followed on the puja days on new moon, full moon, Kruthika
star and Pradosham days. Devotees offer Sandal paste Alankara to the Lord on realizing
their wishes. In a similar vein, the significance of this temple is that one
can seek to obtain salvation by simply hearing about the lord of this temple. Since
Goddess Kodiyidai Nayagi is considered to be the Kriya Shakti, her shrine is
famous among devotees. They believe that worshiping the goddess here will bless
the newlyweds with a long and prosperous married life and will remove obstacles
in marriage proposals of unmarried women.
