Seven days of puja's and functions are conducted in a grand manner.The festival starts with the daily pujas and followed by para eyunallipu. The temple elephant is decorated and it carries the holy deity. The pakalpooram is on the 6th day and the procession starts from Ayyankandayath temple and reaches Ponneth temple taking para all through the way. The 7th day is Thookamkuttal.
