Hanuman (Anjaneya) and Murugan (Kartikeya), both carved on pillars near the flagmast, receive worship.

Adjacent to the shrine of Ganapati stands an idol of Goddess Parashakti who was worshiped in a nearby Kalari.

As per legend, an old woman sweeper of Pazhaya Sreekanteswaram Temple distinguished the Swyambhoo (self manifested) Shiva Linga idol while she was resting at this place.

Mritunjaya Homam, Mrityunjaya archana, Jaladhara, Pinvilakku and Kuvala mala samarpanam are the most popular offerings made to Shiva.

The annual festival lasts for ten days and will be celebrated in the Malayalam month Dhanu (Dec-Jan).
