Revered as a powerful mother deity, she protects villagers from diseases, drought and evil spirits. Her sacred grove preserves tropical dry evergreen species.

Annual Aadi Thiruvizha draws devotees offering Pongal, garlands and animal sacrifices, seeking blessings for health, fertility, good harvest and communal well-being.
