At the point when the old (Gregorian) year is rung out and the New Year sets in (ie at the stroke of midnight on December 31st every year), lakhs of enthusiasts are available on the holy Tanikai slope to have the darshan of their God. They come to Tiruttani to offer their heart-felt supplications to God to our God on that day and night to be honored with peace and bounty amid the New Year. This celebration came into vogue amid the British Raj when the popular Vallimalai Swamigal induced his adherents to offer their respect first to God Tanigesan, the supplier of all great, and at exactly that point to their official supervisors. On this day, various bhajana gatherings assemble and climb the slope, singing the resonant Tiruppugazh melodies and smoldering camphor on each of the slope's 365 stages, one for every day of the New Year.

The whole air is loaded with the music of these reverential melodies, which is a dining experience to the eyes and ears. Seeing the Vel Kavadi taken to the sanctum by a few enthusiasts on this day with the vel, sharp ends pricked and penetrated everywhere throughout the body over the hip (notwithstanding which they convey it effortlessly and elegance) motivates and raises our considerations to revere our God for His relentless, heavenly and wonderful forces.

Other than the month of Krittikais which pull in an extensive number of enthusiasts to this altar, the two remarkable yearly celebrations are the Aadi Krittikai and the 31st of December New Year Step Festival. The buoy celebration is praised in the month of Aadi, Bhramotsavam in the month of Maasi, amid which Valli Kalyanam is commended on the eighth day, and the Skanda Sashti is praised in the Tamil month of Aippasi
