Worship
The idol is about 18 long and has a base pedestal 7 height. The chakra in the hand of the Lord is called as prayoga chakra as it is in a slightly tilted condition as if ready for use. Bhudevi and Sridevi are also found as standing figures.
The worship is propotioned solely to this idol on three occasions in a year - Uttana Ekadasi, Mukkoti Dvadasi and Dvadasaradhana. The idol is bought in procession at wee hours only on Kaisika Dvadasi (also known as Mukkoti Dvadasi) while the idol is worshipped inside the temple complex on the remaining two occasions.
