9.15 am. After the completion of Homa Poornahuthi Puja, devotees will get prasada. Devotees believe Shravana masa,

Sarpa Samskara / Sarpa Dosha

Sarpa Samskara / Sarpa Dosha is one of the poojas performed by devotees at this temple to get rid of the Sarpa Dosha
(according to belief, a person, either in this birth or in any of his previous births, could be afflicted by the Sarpa
(serpent) Dosha (curse) either knowingly or unknowingly, through many ways). Persons who are afflicted with this
dosha are advised by astrologers/horoscope writers to perform this pooja for their own wellbeing. Pooja can be done
either by the afflicted person himself if he is male and married, or through a priest. This is because the pooja involves
rituals similar to those done while performing shraadha (tithi) (funeral rites). Sarpa Samskara seva devotees are
required to be present for two days. The seva is performed during the daytime, with no particular poojas in the
evening. Food arrangements will be made for these devotees by the devasthana, for up to four persons per seva.

Due to the widespread belief in the snake god in Tulunad region of Karnataka and Kerala, this pooja is performed by
people of all faiths. Made Snana is the important and most favourite Seva to Lord Subramanya. Beedi Madesnana is
also an important and most favourite Seva to Lord Subramanya.
