The temple attracts pilgrims throughout the year. Ramanavami is celebrated every year in a grand manner in the months of April/May. Thirukalyanam and Kanakibishekam are the two important events in Ramanavami festival.

Thayaar always goes with perumaal in all purappaadus; they are never separated.

On Sravanam day a "sravana deepam", is taken by a divine person on whom it is believed the lord will prevade at this time of deepam. He will carry the deepam around the temple as lead by two other deepams; one is vaal deepam of aanchnEyaa (Hanuman) and the other is satti deepam of Lord Narasimhaa. Numerous devotees from all walks of life wait for this event on Sravanam day as they ask the Lord (i.e. the main deepam bearer) nivarththi and boons for their problems and penances. No science can reason this experience as this has to be sought and felt by one. One has to see this deepam sEvai to appreciate the majesty of this Lord's prevasion. There are few other temples in this area such as thErezhundoor temple where the sravana deepam is observed. Since a unique relevance to this Lord and Lord Guruvaayoorappan exists, this Lord is also dressed on some days as Guruvaayuurappan and bhakthaas offer "thulaabaaram" to this Lord also as similar to offering to Sri Guruvaayoorappan.

This thirumanchan sEvai is the most desirable sEvai one can do when they visit this kshEthram. This has to be booked in advance. Currently there is a nominal fee of around Rs. 2250 for performing the thirumanchanam and the temple administration arranges for all the necessary supplies including milk and panchAmirtham for thirumanchanam. It is suggested that some honey and an additional twenty five litres of milk be arranged for. It is also customary to take a set of new vasthram for the Lord. Of late, thirumanchanams are not performed on sravanam days, so that the other important kaimkaryams of the day may be attended to.
