The Jayanthi celebrations of Their Holiness are performed regularly and prasadams offered to Their Holinesses at Kanchi. Special homas, Annadhanam, lectures form part of these celebrations every year. Pradosham in this temple draws a large number of devotees every fortnight. More than 3000 devotees throng Sri Rathnagiriswarar Temple on Pradosham days. Similarly, Maha Sivarathri is yet another function which draws very large crowd throughout the day. All important festivals are performed in a grand manner strictly as per Vedic injunctions. The special feature of the rituals in this temple is that every abhishekam, aradhanas are performed amidst Vedic chanting by a large number of grahasthas trained in Vedic chanting.
