Current Amma is Kunjikuttiyamma, who is nearing taken up the position when she was 18. After 70, she is not eligible to be Amma and has to left the position to another woman.

To find out the next Amma, the Nagamadathmana members conducted a Devaprasnam, an astrological ritual carried out to interpret the will of the gods. As per Devaprasnam, the woman who is going to head as next amma will see two snakes hugging each other in Kavu's Shiva Linga.
