The main prayer commitment of the devotees is the walking on the fire pit.

It is the staunch faith and experience of the devotees that prayer to Mother Vana-Badrakalai Amman for total relief from spells and witchcraft never fails and they begin a new lease of life. They also hang a stone on the Thothi Maram the sacred tree of the temple seeking child boon.

Goddess Vanabadrakali Amman is a swayambumurthi.  Realizing their wishes, women use to put their mangal sutras in the hundi.  They tie a stone in the sacred tree for child boon.  Those starting a trade or beginning marriage proposals use to place white and red flowers in separate packets and seek the permission of the Goddess.  If they get the flower of their choice, it means the permission is granted.  Above all, the temple is known for the sheep animal sacrifice.

Vanabadrakali Amman worship and the temple came into being in this place millenniums back, it is believed.  It is also believed that Mother Shakti came to this jungle place-Vana for penance on Lord Shiva to kill demon Mahishasura.  As She performed penance in Vana the forest, She is praised as Vanabadrakali.  It is also believed that the temple is associated with the story of Aravalli-Suravalli the deities of witchcrafts.  Bheema, one of the Pandava brothers came here to end their evil doings, captivated by them and rescued by Lord Krishna.  It is said that one Allimuthu was deputed by Lord Krishna to banish the evil sisters.  Allimuthu went on his mission after praying to Goddess Vanabadrakali. Aravalli and Suravalli were shocked and trembled to see the roaring actions of Allimuthu, they surrendered and offered their sister to Allimuthu in marriage and killed him by food poisoning.  Abhimanyu, son of Arjuna went to the upper world and brought back Allimuthu alive back to earth.  He was now doubly strong, prayed to Vanabadrakali and floored the kingdom and evil rule of Aravalli, Suravalli, thus goes the story.
