Palani Murugan Temple – Kailasanatha Temple
In the Hill Temple, Next to Nataraja is Kailasanatha
facing east, and having a separate Mahamandapam. That extends upto the Devi's
shrine. In this ardha mandapa, there is a north facing Dhandayuthapani inside a
separate niche. Even though there are two Muruga temples here, Palani belongs
only to Dhandayuthapani and a special reverence is paid to him.
The main deity is in the form of a Linga. When the Devi
performed penance in this Vilvaranya this Lord gave darshan to her. Hence he
has been provided with a separate shrine. We can come to the Muruga temple by
an entrance in the south wall of the Arda Mandapa.
