Palani Murugan Temple – Ayyappan Temple

Palani Murugan Temple – Ayyappan Temple
For the past few years the pilgrims going to Sabari Malai for darshan of Iyyapa are increasing. This Iyyapan Koil is a sequel of that bhakti. Though it is small it contains many images depicting the legends of Iyyapa. With Vinayaga on the left and Balamurugan on the right, Iyyapa is in the center and the Kumbhabhishekam was performed in 1981.


When we go round the shrine, we can see a Linga of white marble and Vishnu. There is a Vinayaga under a papal tree with Naga stones. There is a Navagraha dais. A compound wall encircles that shrine. The road that passes abutting this temple goes to Kodaikanal which is 63 kms a way.
