The elephant let out a roar to welcome the Amman (the priest) back to her Sannidhi. He performs the puja, and heads back to Amman Sannidhi. Surrounded by the sounds of Melam & Nadhaswaram, led by an elephant in the front, the priest starts from the Akilandeswari Sannidhi to the Shivan sannidhi. ![]() In continuation of this practice, the chief priest of the Akilandeswari Sannidhi adorns a sari and kreedam to perform the puja. It is believed that, everyday Akilandeswari comes to perform puja to the Siva Linga. Two main praharas are there in the temple one for Jambukesvarar & the other for Akilandeswari. Thiruvananikaval temple is significant as as one of the five Pancha Budha Stalams of Lord Shiva (the Neer Stalam). Once we reached Trichy we took the bus to Thiruvananikaval, a temple town near Srirangam.
