Rituals include sacred anointing with valampuri shankh, adorning the Siva lingam with rudraksha, koovalai garlands, moonstones, and trinetras, followed by various poojas such as Usha Pooja, Etirettu Pooja, Pantheeradi Pooja, Ucha Pooja, and Athazha Pooja. Evening Deeparadhana and thazhaseeveli further enrich the spiritual experience. Sri Rudram chanting, Maharudrajapa, and Maharudrabhishekam
more are significant rituals believed to remove grief and obstacles while blessing devotees with peace. Major festivals include Sivaratri and Thiruvatira.
