The sacred banyan tree in the temple has also leaves of other trees as Bodhi, Mango, Ichi and Purasu. Devotees participate in the Nikumbala Yajna to regain the position they had lost, for removal of enemy threats, relief from debt burdens, promotion in jobs, employment opportunities, wedding boon and progress in business. Those afflicted with adverse aspects of Saturn-Sani Bhagwan also take part in the Yajna. The temple conducts Nikumbala Yajna on all new moon days from 8.00 a.m. to 2.00 p.m. Though bags of chillies are used in the yagna, the spicy smoke emanating from the Yajna fire does not create any inconvenience as coughing etc. to the attendees. This is indeed a wonder. 108 varieties of ingredients are used in the yajna as fruits, silk saris etc. At the end of the yajna, abishek is performed to Mother Pratyangaradevi and Lord Sarabeswarar with holy Kalasa (pots) water. In Ramayana Ravana lost his sons in the war against Lord Sri Rama barring only Indrajit known for his reputation in war craft even against Indira.
