Darsan of the
Mulavar is made available at three points special entrance fee is Rs. 100/-, but
for the Arthamandapa entrance the fee is minimum only. There a free darsan on both
ordinary and festival days, but the queue is not only very long, but takes
hours. For Vila Pooja, Uchikalam Puja, Sayaraksha and Rakkalam Pooja, admission
by ticket, depending upon the proximity of the chosen. Abhisheka is offered with
different items and each has a specific fee. Panchamritha abhishakam though
costs much, many opt, for this due to specific benefits.
The offering of
archana is of three kinds, like astotharam, sahasranamam and Deeparadhana. The
fee varies from item to item. For Rajalankaram offered in the evenings, the fee
is high and comes next to that of Thanga Ratham. Yet there is great demand and
one has to wait. Advance booking facility is extended, and this can be done
either by phone or by letter.
