The
Ayyappan
Kovil
is
located
at
Venketesa
Colony
which
occupies
a
radial
distance
of
half
a
km
from
Mahalingapuram
arch
(from
the
east
-
Kovai
road)
and
the
Pollachi
busstand/market
(south).
The
main
deity
is
lord
Ayyappan
with
the
exact
look
of
the
lord
Ayyappan
at
Sabarimalai
in
Kerala.
There
are
sannithies
for
Kannimoola
Ganapathy,
Festival
moorthies
and
Subramoniyar.
The
inner
praharam
has
a
corner
for
Navagrahams
(நவகிரகங்கள்)
also.
At
the
outer
praharam
there
is
another
temple
for
Manjal
Amman.
(மஞ்சள்
அம்மன்).
There
are
Ramar,
Ashta
Laksmy
(அஷ்ட
லட்சுமிகள்),
Panchamukha
vinayakar,
(பஞ்சமுக
விநாயகர்),
Kasi
Viswanathar,
Visalakshi
Amman,
Dakshinamoorthy,
Hanuman
etc.
Maasani
Amman
is
worshipped
placing
a
photo
on
the
wall
behind
Manjal
Amman.
Eradication
of
Sanidosham
is
the
main
achievement
a
devotee
can
attain.
Saturdays
are
important.
Pankuni
Uthram
is
very
special.
On
all
days,
annathanam
is
held
here
for
limited
number
of
devotees.
As
the
temple
is
located
away
from
the
main
road,
parking
near
the
temple
is
possible
without
much
difficulty.
