 In honour of Pugazh Thunai Nayanar's tale, devotees place two coins at the foot of the lingam and take home one of the coins.Pugazh Thunai Nayanar is worshipped in the Tamil month of Avani, when the moon enters the Ashlesha nakshatra (lunar mansion).He is depicted with folded hands (see Anjali mudra) and sometimes holding a pot of water.
