Muneeswarar is generally worshipped either as a fierce god or a peaceful god; those who worship his fierce form offer him animal sacrifices like lamb and chicken. It is also said that Muneeswaran has seven main qualities, thus he is worshipped in seven main forms, which are Shivamuni, Mahamuni, Thavamuni, Nadamuni, Jadamuni, Dharmamuni and Vazhamuni. Jadamuni is especially popular. In the Caribbean however, especially in [[Trinidad and Tobago]] as well as [[Guyana]], he is locally called Munesh Prem Baba. <ref>{{Cite web|title=Muneeswaran, Muniswaran Hindu God, Importance of Muneeswaran|url=https://www.astroved.com/astropedia/en/gods/muneeswaran|access-date=2020-12-06|website=www.astroved.com}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|last=Dhevee|date=2017-05-30|title=Muniswaran Gayatri Mantra|url=https://www.dhevee.org/muniswaran-gayatri-mantra/|access-date=2020-12-06|website=Dhevee.org|language=en-US}}</ref> | Muneeswarar is generally worshipped either as a fierce god or a peaceful god; those who worship his fierce form offer him animal sacrifices like lamb and chicken.
