One of the most common questions among devotees is why toddy or alcohol is offered to Swamy Koragajja. According to the traditional story of Swamy Koragajja (Koragathaniya Daiva), the offering traces back to the final meal lovingly prepared by Mairakke Baideti (Myrakke Baidyethi), the foster mother who raised Koragathaniya with great care and affection. Before Koragathaniya attained his divine form, he instructed her to serve him his favourite food and drink one last time. Among these traditional offerings was toddy (kallu), a locally prepared palm drink that held cultural significance in the Tulu Nadu region.

Over time, this sacred tradition has continued, and devotees offer toddy, alcohol, beeda (betel leaves and areca nut), and chakkuli as symbols of devotion and gratitude to Swamy Koragajja. These offerings are not made for their material value but as a way of honouring the customs associated with Koragajja and remembering the final meal before he manifested in his divine form.
