Cerca de cien mil devotos provenientes de diversas partes se congregaron en el lecho del río Vaigai la madrugada del viernes para presenciar la entrada del Señor Kallazhagar al río como parte del festival anual de Chithirai. Este evento constituye el punto culminante del festival. Fieles de todas las edades abarrotaron el lugar desde la noche del jueves, esperando pacientemente junto a sus familias y amigos.

Aunque la mayoría de los devotos se encontraban en el lecho y dentro del río, una gran cantidad de personas se posicionó en el puente Albert Victor y otros puntos estratégicos cercanos para observar a la deidad.

Miles de devotos rociaron agua sobre el Señor Kallazhagar utilizando bolsas de piel de cabra mientras la deidad avanzaba hacia el Ramarayar Mandapam tras entrar al río. Los fieles, incluidos niños vestidos como el Señor Kallazhagar, se agolparon en el mandapam para el ritual 'theerthavari'. Se cree que vestirse como la deidad le complace y ayuda a cumplir sus promesas.

Rociar agua sobre el Señor Kallazhagar para aliviarlo del sofocante calor estival es considerado un servicio por parte de los devotos.
