Now, at Alangudi, we celebrate Sri Radhakalyanam in a larger scale. Many ardent devotees of Alangudi Radhakrishna give unstinted support to the Trust and as such almost all the expenditure are met by sponsors. Some people bear the entire expenditure for vegetables for the function. Someone sponsors rice. The other takes care of milk supply for the entire event. Some people spend for decoration and it goes on that way. The villagers, especially the odayar community of Poonayiruppu and Narikkudi, provide financial as well as moral support to this event.
