Special pujas are performed to Lord and Mother on the Masi Magam day when those born on Magam Star pray. Devotees light ghee lamps in Shiva shrine for cure from illness. Special pujas are performed by those facing Vasthu problems in their houses.

Magha is the 10th nakshatra in the constellation. It comes under the category of gandamul nakshatra. Ketu is the lord of this nakshatra.
People born in Magha nakshatra can surprise people with their activities. They are able to do extraordinary things that bring respect to them. They are highly self-esteemed people and never compromise their virtue and dignity.
Natives of Magha nakshatra put their full effort in sustaining their reputation and honor in the society. Another feature of their nature is that they are very careful in whatever they do, whereas there is a general misconception that they are restless and indecisive.
People born in Magha nakshatra enjoy their family life to the fullest and have an eye for luxury items. These people are intelligent in financial matters. They put their level best in affairs related to money, which results in a profitable gain to them.
According to Vedic astrology, girls born in Magha nakshatra are honest and do not fear to call spade a spade. They are distinctively ambitious, courageous and daring.
Greatness Of Temple:
Presiding deity, Lord Mahalingeswarar graces facing east. In the shrine, right to Him, there are two Ambicas named after Meenakshi in Madurai. They are close to the wall facing south. The devotee has to peep closely into the shrine to have their darshan. They represent two powers – Icha Shakti and Gnana Shakti. Worshipping them would benefit the devotee with wisdom to know God.
As Maharshi Bharadwaja performed penance sitting on a platform with concentration on the Lord controlling all his senses, the place is known as Odukkam Thavasi Medai. Odukkam-controlling the senses; Thavasi-one performing penance and Medai-platform.
Aadhi Bhairava: Bhairava shrine is generally on the northeast corner in the temple. Here, He is just opposite Lord Shiva. As Lord Mahalineswara is all powerful, it is said that to protect the devotees from the scorching heat (Ugra), Bhairava is installed here balancing the temperature. Bhairava here is known as Aadhi Bhairava. There is a hole behind the Bhairava through which the devotees worship Lord Shiva and Bhairava before entering the temple.
Following Shivarathri, the rays of Sun God continuously fall on the Lord for thirty days during mornings and on Bhairava during the evenings.
Special pujas are performed on Magam star days remembering Maharshi Bharadwaja’s birth star.
Temple History:
While returning to Ayodhya with Mother Sita, on the way, Sri Rama stayed in the hermitage of Maharshi Bharadwaja and accepted his hospitality. To honour Anjaneya on the occasion, Sri Rama shared the food served to him with Anjaneya by drawing a line on the leaf. Since that moment, plantain leaves grew naturally with a partition line, according to stories linked with Ramayana. Jubilant host Bharadwaja came to this shrine to worship Lord Mahalineswara, says the Sthala Puana – history of the place. Maharshi Bharadwaja is one of the five, who installed Mother Meenakshi in Madurai. Mother Meenakshi also bears the name Pancharaja Madhangi based on this belief. (Pancha-Five).
