In continuation to this a Bhajana Sangam was formed and registered in the year 1977 in the name of Sri Ayyappa Seva Samithi. The Samithi decided to go for its own place and with the blessing of Lord Ayyappa it became a reality and it continued to functioning on all Saturdays and mandala makara vilakku season with annual utsavam ranging from one week to ten days with various cultural programmes.
