The Moolavar Srinivasa Perumal is in standing posture facing east. He gave darsan to Brihaspathi and blessed him with boons of his choice. The Goddess is called Alarmelmangai Tayar and the Pushkarini, Perungula thirtha. Anandanilaya Vimana adorns the garbha griha and it is quite imposing. Nammalwar worshipped the Lord with his fragrant Pasuramala. Nithyanaimithika worship is offered with great religious fervor.
