Beautiful temple, Lord Murugun is called as Kurinji Andavar here. less crowded and lot of shops available outside of the temple. This temple is not just any other abode of worship, it has a rich historical past. It was constructed in 1936 by Lady Leelavathi Ramanathan, an Australian who married the Solicitor General of Ceylon called PonnambalamRamanatham. Hindu scriptures inspired her so much that she converted into a Hindu, and after her husband died, she built this temple commemorating his memory.

The main deity here is Lord Murugan Swami, along with Murugan Swami it also has a small vigraha of Lord Ganesha and Navagraha. This is an ancient and powerful temple. One should certainly visit this temple. Palani hill view is just behind the temple where you can have a view of Palani hills.

A small but beautiful murugan temple - well maintained, neat and clean.We went early in the morning at opening time and witnessed abhishekam for Murugan possibly by a devotee family. It's a bit far off from the town. It was calm and peaceful at least at that time. There is a path around with a railing like a view point from which you can supposedly see Palani. At that time however we couldn't see it due to fog though it was quite sunny even that early in the morning - in fact blinding if you were facing east. Although we couldn't see Palani hill, the view of the landscape was beautiful.

This temple has great history to look back. Skandar( Murugan) is beautiful as usual, and he is very powerful demi god who killed surapadman during surasamharam. Lord here is looking calm and bright. Kurinji flower blooms once in 12 years, and lord is done alankaram completely in kurichi on these period Palani hill viewpoint, small villages, kodai city view, terrace farming etc from this place. Please do have dharshan and get blessings of subramanya.
