As the temple welcomes all irrespective of their cast, religion and nationality, people from all walks of life reach here. You can spot even international tourists praying before the Muthappan. Some of them spend a few days and go back to their own destinations with a fresh mind of peace and great relief.

Before entering the main temple you need to do is to climb down the steps to reach the river and clean your body. After cleaning, enter into the inner premises (Sreekovil or Sanctum Sanctorum) of the temple. Here you won’t face such large queue for Dharshan (seeing the deity) as you would normally see in other great temples. Pray before Muthappan and put some money, as you please, into the box (Hundi) provided. Vellattam or Thiruvappana is a must watch item and the most sought after one by the devotees.

After the performance, devotees queue up before Muthappan and convey their problems to Him. He in return passes some kind words, which gives great relief to the devotees. Muthappan’s sudden replies do provide some solace to them an they return happily and hopefully..
