A devotee of Agathiyar, who has since passed away, was instructed to have Agathiyar's statue made in granite and worshiped in his Nadi. Having worshiped Agathiyar in the confines of his home for years, he later moved Agathiyar to the Sri Sakthi Nageswari Amman Temple. Sri Krishna and his wife Sri Dewi, both staunch devotees of Agathiyar, and who frequented his home, have taken on the responsibility to ensure that abhisegam or libation and prayers conducted by the former devotee, continued after his demise. Sri Krishna undertook this massive and applaudable task sometime back in June of last year.
Sri Balachander & Srimathi Shanthi Balachander first mentioned to me of the existence of a statue for Agathiyar that they accidentally discovered at the Sri Sakthi Nageswari Amman Temple in the midst of the bustling capital of Kuala Lumpur, some months ago. Saravanan Palanisamy and his wife Tamarai Selvi later joined them in frequenting the temple. Sri Balachander and Saravanan have come forward to help Sri Krishna in conducting these rituals on specific days.
Saravanan has carried several posts on this temple in his blog at http://arulgnanajyothi.blogspot.my/2016/01/24012016-24012016-pausha-purnima-prayers.html, http://arulgnanajyothi.blogspot.my/2015/08/29082015-29082015-aavani-full-moon.html,
