A ritual named Pooram Paatu is conducted on the next day after the Pooram celebrations and is believed through this offering the Goddess enters the Sreelakam

The highlight of the pooram festival is the pageantry of caparisoned elephants and the melam (percussion ensemble). During festival days various performances of art forms and musical renditions will be held on the temple premises.
