  EEDAALAPPAN is a life serving substitute  for any Usefulness at great demands and  Urgent needs.
  He could conform Himself to any form  , male female or domestic animal ; even as Wild species.
  We did read and well knew one
THAAYUMAANAVAR SWAMY of
  THRICHI Mount Fort ,
who came in the form of Original Mother to  a pregnant lady to function as a Mid Wife ,
  when real help was absent there.
  THAAYUM as well as a Mother ,
   AANAVAR instantly took the form
On hearing  the  sincere prayer of one pregnant lady who was in Labour Pain    at solitary Midnight.
  Like wise SRI EEDAALAPPAN is also Graceful enough to hear our call and answer immediately by taking any Form Suitable.
  
  Study on this Temple and Deity :
Society through the  habits and customs came with a strong belief in Black Magic and Evil Spell .
  At any setback , illness ,failure or loss. .  .
  they trusted it to be the effect of Evil Spell and Black Magic charged on them by their enemies to create destruction and downfall.
     Among such situations   ,
   Swamy SRI EEDAALAPPAN is the permanent shelter and guiding light to people in distress.

  People vary in belief and constant understanding of Devotion  :
   Black Magic or Evil Spell is a false belief and wrong spreading. There is no Science or Art to spoil anyone or anything through remote Spell.
    But common mass has no sense to wait and believe in our argument or to hear what we say about the benefits of Real Devotion.
   People expect instant relief. They never bother about the safety rule. The first work is break through.
   They shall not be satisfied with explanation or experience history. They need one Sanctuary to put all their burdens there.
   Now SRI EEDAALAPPAN temple is the place for Solution and Safety. He undertakes the Problem in His hands and saves the Devotee from doubt or confusion instantly.
  No Black Magic or Evil Spell could enter and enjoy into the life and property of any Devotee belongs to SWAMY SRI EEDAALAPPAN .
  Real understanding of irrational superstition is essential to the Devotee  who wish to know the limitless mercy of his selected God.
    In this generation at present age we heard , saw and experienced many proven Miracles occurred on this earth through Devotion.

   PONKAALIAMMAN is addressed in short form as PONGI  ,
   and then becoming PONGIAMMAL.
   We learnt about and verified the apparitions of one PONGIAMMAL , a family God , having sickle or pickaxe in her hands , to show the dignity and importance of labour.
  She appears occasionally on the main road too  to encourage labour and punctuality which she honours greatly for success and Richness.
   These family Gods and village Deities have a connection with one another , and truly they Convene in a selected place periodically.
    SAARIMUGAM  :
It is a Visual fact and perceivable truth that  , On a particular Night ,
One grand procession of village Gods and family Deities takes place along a traditional path .
   The path is termed as SAARIMUGAM.
   SAARI means order  discipline ; one by one , and  ,  action on a certain rule.
   MUGAM  face , common usage.
Here , MUGAM connotes Direction ;
The direction and path on which the procession takes  place.
    In olden days people witnessed the wonderful Galore regularly and beheld every detail face to face.
   Heartfelt blending of  Clothing.
   Every type of Musical play.
   Fire torch in different brightness.
   Hygienic fragrance and
   Serenity observance throughout the passage.

  SWAMY SRI EEDAALAPPAN holds a special position in the Majestic Congregation of Divinity  :
   SRI EEDAALAPPAN's peetam is peculiar , located in the Southwest range of ever greenish Mountains  ,
linked with easily reached Ways. 
    It is very clear that SAARIMUGAM
starts from different directions  and reaches the Divine Land of SWAMY SRI EEDAALAPPAN  , covering various distances.
