Method of worship in this Temple

A total of 49 ghee lamps are to be lit with the frame of the Aganda Deepam; one for the Lord Vigneswara and the remaining 48 for the Mother. Then one has to go around the temple of Lord Ganesha 5 times, while praying for the removal of any and all obstacles.

Then, while going around the Mother's temple 3 times, one has to take a vow for giving a suitable donation either in cash or in kind, after one's problem has been solved satisfactorily.

Finally one has to go around the Mandira Pavai temple complex 19 times, which also includes the enclave of the 18 siddhas. After that one has to sit in front of the Mandirapavai and the siddhas and meditate with a one pointed mind for 20 minutes. Thus one's desire is likely to bear fruits with in a mandalam (48 days).

Once the prayer has been answered successfully, one should pay the donation as vowed earlier and must visit the temple at least once a week. The pradikshana of the sanctum sanctorums ensures faster fulfilment of one's desires, and hence it is recommended that one should visit the temple as many times as possible.
