Arunachaleswarar Temple celebrates four major Festivals throughout the year. The name of these Festivals are Brahmotsavam with the most important one being the Karthigai Deepam Festival.

| Valampuri Sangu Homa |
At the end of each of these Brahmotsavams, a Valampuri Sangu (name of the Conch) Homa and Abhishekam is performed. This Homa was recently performed outside the Siva Sannidhi at Arunachaleswarar Temple.
To gather so many conches for Temple pujas cannot be helpful thus for ecological reasons, I think such pujas are no longer appropriate.
