Devotees throng the place for performing Tarpan for the ancestors on the new moon day in the Cauvery River.  Devotees also celebrate their 60^th birthday here with Ayush Homa for longevity.

Those afflicted with Ragu planet adverse effects pray here for removal of obstacle in wedding proposals and for child boon.  People perform abhishek to Lord Vinayaka with a number of pots of water equal to their age.  Those facing adverse effects of serpent planets should install a stone Nagar under the Vanni tree.  Devotees also perform Navagraha puja and tie the Mangal Sutra to plantain tree.

Lord Brahmma has three faces in this temple against four attributed to him.  Vanni Tree is supposed to be His fourth face.  Sages Agasthya and Bharadwaja had Lord Shiva’s wedding darshan here.  Nagar worship (serpent worship) is popular here as the divine serpent Adisesha was for instrumental for the coming up of the temple.

Sri Anjaneya appears with biting teeth taking the Sanjeevi hill northward– the hill that contains wealth of herbals.  There is a bell on his tail.  Lord Vyakrapada Vinayaka graces in a pillar in Perumal shrine.  Vinayaka has the feet of a tiger and the face of an elephant, a very rare form.  Lord Magudeswarar is also praised as Malai Kolundeeswarar and Mother as Soundaryanayaki and Vadivudainayaki.

A competition arose between Adisesha and Vayu the God of Winds about their might.  They put the Meru mount at a centre which was tightly held by Adisesha.  Vayu blew with all velocity to push Adisesha.  Meru split into seven pieces, each as a Gem Shivalinga.  The diamond piece fell in Kodumudi.  This is a place for Naga worship.  Majority of the devotees come here seeking relief from adverse effects of serpent planets.
