Additional Worship
In addition to the above worship on a specific day, we recommend that devotees continue visiting and praying to the Siddhars at the temple on full-moon (Pournami) and new-moon (Amaavaasai) days as this is believed to enhance the results.
Optionally, during this 18-week worship period, the devotees may sponsor the Siddhar Malar Malai which is offered on all full-moon days.
On completing this 18-week worship, devotees will start to observe positive changes in their lives with the blessings of Siddhar Sivavaakkiyar. We encourage devotees who have received the intended results of their worship to sponsor the Pournami Annadhanam at our temple as a mark of thanksgiving to Siddhar Sivavaakkiyar; nearly 3000 people are fed on each Pournami day.
