It's a mut-stop for most travellers on the A9 highway to visit the shrine to and from Jaffna to invoke God's blessings. A new vegetarian restaurant is now available in the vicinity for a qucik snack or a meal.

Now only they are rebuilding the temple. It was damaged due to the civil war. But People are still respect the god and do stop there vehicle and pray the god and continue their journey.
