Currently there are many different offerings a devotee can pay for in the temple which are called 'Archana' – a prayer which the temple priest will conduct and will then bless the devotee. The basic archana is $5.00 and can go up to $31.00 CAD. This includes prayers for birthdays, anniversaries, death anniversaries, prayer and pooja for a new vehicle, newborns and newlyweds. The next type of service a devotee can purchase is an 'Abhisheka' – a holy showering of their preferred deity. This type of service ranges from $61.00 to $501.00. The difference in prices are due to the number of items included in the service.

The basic abhisheka includes water, milk, turmeric powder, yogurt, oranges, coconut water, and sacred ashes and the $351.00 abhisheka will incorporate an assortment of fruits, 10 Kalasa's, holy water, and homam (fire ritual) in addition to the aforementioned items. Every service mentioned above is available during festivals and special/holidays as a sponsorship program where the devotee chooses to sponsor a specific pooja/prayer, or also available to be conducted during regular days for their own satisfaction and peace of mind. In addition to these services, devotees can sponsor abhisheka's which include 108 or 1008 conch shells which range from $751.00 to $1501.00. A wedding service is offered in the temple at a case by case scenario. A wedding service can be simple or extravagant and the prices for those will be determined by the chief priest. These services are available on specific holidays and are available for a single or for group sponsorship. Annual festivals for Lord Chandramouleeshwara are conducted with platinum sponsors who sponsor the event every year. Devotees also take part in sponsoring the food distribution for special days. For this the devotee would sponsor all the items needed for the food preparation and distribution.
