Since the lord here is worshipped as Sri Ezhutharinathar, in this temple devotees perform the ceremony of “Vidhyapyasam” (beginning the education of their child). This is done in the hope that their child can excell in the education sector.

Devotees bring their children here who face speech disability and do such poojas. The priest begins the pooja by writing a grain of paddy on the kid’s tongue. Children are believed to be healed of their speech issues if they complete the specified rituals.
