The consecration ceremony took place at the Subramaniya Swamy Temple in Valparai, where all 108 idols were brought together. After the ritual, the idols were distributed to different estate areas, each being transported in separate vehicles.

A special Vinayagar idol, known as the Mumbai Raja Vinayagar, has been placed in the Valparai Children's Park area. Local residents have been offering prayers and performing pujas to this particular idol.
