Viḷakkāṇḍi is part of the temple workforce.—The temple employs a Maṇiyam, Viḷakkāṇḍi, Tiruviḷagu and two guards (morning and night shifts). Viḷakkāṇḍi lights lamps all around the temple, except in the garbhagṛhas. The pūjā is performed hereditarily by an ādiśāiva family, with temple housing adjacent to the tank.
