Tirunangais have a special relationship with Tamil goddesses and channel divine power by performing divination and healing rituals at temples. In particular, Aṅkāḷammaṉ serves as an indigenous goddess whose worship and service connects the tirunangai community spatially and temporally, bestows social and cultural power, and allows tirunangais to more fully embody and enact their identity.
