Devotees here follow a strange custom of prayer commitment by doing a ritual with Paadai – generally used for carrying a dead body.The Paadai festival is celebrated in the month of Panguni-March-April. Sick people pray to Amman that they would offer the Padai Kavadi to her after recovery from illness. The patient after recovery shall lie on this Paadai as a dead person accompanied by son and wife. The patient will be brought to the temple. The priest would spill the water on the body. The person would wake up as if from death by the grace of Amman. The belief is that Amman would not let Her devotee die.
