Devotees who perform Mandla Nalikera Vritham(Special coconut pooja) offer a coconut with husk to the temple which remains there for 41 days for poojas. They should chant "OM SRI KARYASIDHI ANJANEYA SWAMINAE NAMAH" at least 108 times a day, come to the temple daily or as per the convenience and perambulate for 41 times. On the 41st day, the devotees need to reach the temple, get the coconut back and take it home as prasadam and consume it. The pooja brings all wishes cherished, obstacles removed, sufferings ended and this is the most famous offering at this temple.
