Palani Murugan Temple – The Temple

Palani Murugan Temple – The Temple

Dhandayuthapani Temple can be accessed by four different ways.  Pilgrims climb the 693 steps, or take the elephant path. The winch and rope car are modern contrivances that get you to the top of the hill much faster.

Dhandayuthapani Temple’s gopuram or magnificent tower is famous. The deity, Dhandayuthapani Swami refers to the god carrying a staff in his hand. The figure seems to suggest renunciation as the deity wears just a loincloth. The impression formed is that the deity is advocating the precept 'Renounce all to reach me'. The icon is unique in the whole world.

The Tiruvavinankudi Temple, the original one, is at the Adivaram or foothills. Lord Muruga rested here for a while before going up the hill. The deity can be accessed only by the hereditary temple priests.

The Panchamirtham, made from five materials like molasses and fruits, is a kind of jam that is delicious and has a long shelf life. Do pick up some if you are here. The Viboothi or aromatic sacred ash is also highly regarded, and as a blessing, is applied to sick people for a quick cure from ailments.
