Devotees of Kongu Nadu, fetch Theertham (Holy Water) from a place called Kodumudi near Karur where the Cavery River flows broadest in its length. The Holy Cavery water is carried on a narrow shaped vessel called ( Kudam in tamil) on the heads of the devotee and they reach Palani by walk, this walk is called Paatha Yathra (Holy walk). The Theertham is offered to Lord Murugan for Abishegam.

  Panguni Uthiram is celebrated as the Wedding day for the Gods/Celestial couples in all temples of Tamilnadu. It is celebrated over a 10-day period in many Murugan Temples. Inscriptions indicate existence of these celebrations as early as that of the Chola King Rajaraja Chola.
