To achieve prosperity and wisdom and to attain the eternal bliss from God, we perform Archanai (prayer/pooja) in the temple. The Archanai is chanting the names and glory of God with devotion. When the Archanai contains 108 respected names of God, it is called the ASHTOTHRA SATHAM. When it contains 1008 names, the Archanai is called the SAHASRANANAM. As our resources (time and material) permit, when we do Archanai with love, devotion and concentration, we can fulfill our wishes and obtain the God's grace and bliss.

Sri Thendayuthapani Temple and Arulmigu Sri Layan Sithi Vinayakar Temple conducts Sahasranama Archanai on request from devotees. Interested devotees may approach the respective Temple authorities at 6737 9393 and 6221 4853 for further information and arrangement.

The Almighty, Lord Murugan blesses his devotees by appearing in different forms (known as Avatharam in Tamil). Among the forms, the appearance as ARUMUGAN (Shanmugan or six-faced God) has a very special significance. Lord Arumugan has six heads, each facing East, South, South-West, West, North, North-East directions. Shanmuga Archanai is a prayer performed for God Arumugan offering six different flowers and six sacred food (known as Neivethyam in Tamil) and chanting 1008 respected names of Lord Murugan by six priests (archagar) at the same time in the temple.

Lord Murugan blesses his devotees who perform the Shanmuga Archanai, by removing all evil thoughts and deeds, by fulfilling their wishes and by granting spiritual wisdom and prosperity in their lives.
