The main offering at Pampa Ganapathi Temple is coconut. Devotees break a coconut here before climbing the mountain. Devotees visiting the Ayyappa Temple should carry an extra coconut to break it at this shrine.

On the same day after the purification ritual, the utsava murti or procession idol of Lord Ayyappa is taken to the namaskara mandapam of the Pampa Ganapathi Temple to enable devotees to offer nirapara.

The main Prasadam at the temple is modakam – sweet ball – Modakam can be purchased from the counter near the Ganapathy temple at Pamp.

The temple is open on all days unlike Sabarimala AyyappaTemple which is open only during Madala kalam and during for monthly puja.
