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.

Famous quotes containing the word worship:
“Almost like a god looking at her terribly out of the everlasting dark, she had felt the eyes of that horse; great glowing, fearsome eyes, arched with a question, and containing a white blade of light like a threat. What was his non-human question, and his uncanny threat? She didn’t know. He was some splendid demon, and she must worship him.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)

Pompey. Does your worship mean to geld and spay all the youth of the city?
