Now here they celebrate Karthikai, by daily special pooja's and welcome Lord Murugan's festival Karthiyal, which people used to light the temple as well as homes by Karthigai Deepam.and here they also celebrate Eraniel's festival Kavadi Kattu ( Kavadi Bhavani) which will falls on February month.
On that day they decorate the KAVADI with flowers. Before that day there will be three days of pooja, with the Kavadi Murugan ( The person taking that Kavadi) and Kavadi Pandaaram ( who do this pooja). This was a special occasion with lights and Music. In that Kavadi there will be two pots named as Kalasam. This Kalasam was filled with Coconut Oil, which was special made by Checks ( old way of preparing oil from coconut ) from our beloved people in Checkala Street.
The Kavadi will go through the entire homes surrounded in Eraniel, to give pooja to Kavadi. The people will give pooja plates and give Panneer for Abishekagm. Once this was completed the Kavvadi will return to Pathrakalli Aman temple. There they will give Annathaanam and complete the fest.
After that by evening the Kavadi will travel through the road with so many peoples , along with the other Kavadi's from various places around Eraniel to Thiruchendur. 3 days after reaching Thiruchendur there they will give Abisheakam to Lord Murugan with the oil in the Kavadi Kalasam. Once this was completed they returned to Eraniel.
This temple is also famous for other celebration such as Saraswathi pooja , Pongal and all hindu festivals..
