The third day features the celebrated Rugmini Swayamvaram, along with Pudava Pooja and Vamana Pooja. The festival concludes with the Kuchela Sadgati ceremony on March 5 along with the Avabhita Snanam and a traditional procession creating a deeply devotional and festive atmosphere for all participants.
Devotees can also participate in special offerings such as Nirapara which include Malarpara, Avalpara, Arippara, Sharkara Para, Panchasara Para, Nanayappara, Tulasi Para and Cherupayar Para. Other ritualistic archanas include Bhagya Sooktham, Sri Sooktham, Varaha Mantra Archana, Shatru Samhara Archana, Vishnu Sahasranama Archana, Swayamvara Pushpanjali and Family Archana. The festival also emphasizes annadanam and charitable contributions for traditional uses such as the application of black gram as part of the sacred offerings.
