Now the daily Panividai and the day-to-day affairs are conducted by the village people. The Pathi is managed by the village committee. Since this is the place where Ayya commissioned the Citar to write down the Akilam by telling the first sullable of 'The Kappu', of Akilam, it was considered with equal importance with other Pathis. Also Akilam too accredit it as a 'Pathi'.
