As one of the key event of the function we have the car function which is conducted on 9th day of the festival. On this day Aiyarappar goes around the 4 streets in the car.

As the old car is damaged, using Devasthanam Trust fund and Devotees’ donation, a new car is well built at the cost of Rs. 50 Lakhs with 18 feet height and 12.9 feet width which is exactly similar to the old car.
