The temple follows Shaivite tradition.
As at other Shiva temples of Tamil Nadu, Shaivite Brahmin temple priests, perform the temple rituals.
The rituals are performed four times a day: Kalasanthi at 8:30 a.m., Uchikalam at 11:30 p.m., Sayarakshai at 6:00 p.m., and Aravanai Pooja between 8:00  - 8:00 p.m. Each ritual has three steps: alangaram (decoration), naivethanam (food offering) and deepa aradanai (waving of lamps) for both Kailasanathar and Sivakami.
During the last step of worship, nagaswaram (pipe instrument) and tavil (percussion instrument) are played, religious instructions in the Vedas (sacred text) are recited by priests, and worshippers prostrate themselves in front of the temple mast.
There are weekly, monthly and fortnightly rituals performed in the temple.
The temple is open from 6 am - 12 pm and 4-8:30 pm generally except during new moon days when it is open all day.

The Brahmotsavam festival celebrated during the Tamil months of Chittirai (April - May) and Aippasi (October - November) are the most prominent festivals of the temple.
Other festivals like Sivarathri, Arattu festival, Thirukalyanam (sacred marriage) and Kanthasasthi are the other festivals celebrated.
The Thirukalyanam festival is attended by thousands of devotees in the region.
