Every last Saturday of a month a special puja (Tam.: pucai) is done for Sri Iyappan. Iyappan mythologically is the son of Shiva and Mohini and is venerated by some Tamil visitors in particular. The god is honoured with the ritual of abhisheka, offerings of light and then being taken around the main shrine.
