Devotees will be relieved of the fear of earthquake.  Prayer to Lord Bhomminatha brings settlements in land disputes. People also pray for removal of obstacles in carrying out their programmes, delay in constructions, low growth in agricultural activities, doshas (sins) afflicted due to cutting of holy and sacred trees as Arasu, Vembu and banyan and anthills during constructions and for relief from sins as cheating of temple leases, loss in trade, difficulties in jobs and for remedy from back pain and problems in hip areas.

This is one of the temples noted for Vasthu pujas.

Mother Earth has undergone a cycle of four Yugas covering billions of years.  She took up intense penance in Krutha Yuga, the first of the 4 Yugas seeking sufficient strength to bear the burden of growing population in the coming Yugas.  Lord Shiva appeared before Mother Earth and granted Her the boon and said that the penance was adequate to bear the population burden in Kaliyuga.  She will be able to bear the burden only through the prayers Her devotees do for Her.  Mother Earth began searching for such devotees in many sacred places and prayed Swayambumurthis She met on the way.  Sevalur Lord Bhoominathar is one of the Murthys she prayed.
