This is a kshetra where Panchaloha idols are the presiding deities (moolavar).

The majestic 5 Feet Sri Rama is blessing as Moolavar in his Standing Posture with a smile along with Sita Devi on his right.
On a close look at his hands, devotees are able to see the nerves, the ring , the sharp nails, the sharp distinctive fingers on each hand just like a human hand.
Rama is seen holding a bow in his left hand and an arrow with the inscription ‘Ramasaram’ in his right hand.Here Hanuman blesses as Graha Dosha Nivarthi Hanuman in his Dasa Posture, with his right hand close to his mouth in a posture of whispering something to his Lord Sri Rama.
Kothandarama is blessing in his ‘Tribangi Seva”, here in Thillaivilagam, his neck has a kind of a curve, hip a different curve and one leg in a bent posture.

It is believed Sri Rama was on his way back to Ayodhya, after defeating the demon Ravana, he stayed here in the ashram of Bharadwaja Mahirishi. But Hanuman reminded Sri Rama of his promise to Bharatha that , he will return back to Ayodhya at the stipulated time. But Sri Rama wanted to stay here for some time as he promised to Bharadhwaja Mahirishi. By hearing this Sita devi suggested a solution and asked Anjaneya to carry curd rice to Bharatha with the message that they were on their way as promised. Hanuman went to Ayodhya and passed on the information. It is strongly believed that offering curd rice to Anjaneya here in Thillaivilagam would liberate all the devotees from their problems associated with their marriage and solve all their navagraha dosha.

New Moon Days in the Tamil Month of Aadi and Thai are more auspicious here. Childless Couple will get blessed with Progeny, who take bath in the Holy Tank of the temple on either of these days or on both.
