Upadevas

After the idol of Thiruvenkitachalapathy was mutilated it was the Mother’s shrine which retained the tradition of this temple. The Mother continued to be worshipped during this cloudy period. This is explained by the fact that for the local people this is still the temple of the Thiruvenkidam Bhagavathy as the presence of Thiruvenkitachalapathy came to be known only in 1974, Now both Thiruvenkitachalapathy and Bhagavathy have equal importance. The main Sree kovil is of Thiruvenkitchalapathy. Bhagavathi’s Srikovil is in the south East end of the valiambalam.

Ganapathy (Vigneswaran) Saraswathy, Ayyappan, Nagaraja and Brahmarakshes are also worshipped as upadevadas. A separate shrine is also built for the original founder of the temple, Ramanujaryar.
