The festivities commence when the Lord's statue is carried twice around the temple's sanctum sanctorum and four times around the temple once again in procession. The Kshetrapaala pooje is performed subsequently, before the idol is taken on a circuit nine times around the temple grounds, accompanied by joyous music and revelry. A silver chariot carries the Lord's idol to Gowrimaaru Katte, where the Ashtavadhaana pooje is performed.
