Palani Murugan Temple – Veera Durgai Amman Temple
To visit this temple, first reach Dhandayuthapani
Nilayam. This is a library. Unlike other libraries it will be open most of the
day for eight hours (8 to 12 and 4 to 8). Daily news-papers are also available
here. Saturday is a holiday. The boarding house is next to it in the east.
The second peacock mandapa is near the Dhandayuthapani
Nilayam. Further east is the pilgrim rest house. Generally it is found locked.
It cannot be kept open always. In railway stations one would have seen a single
person sleeping on a bench intended for four to six. Such habits would have
prompted the authorities to have the rest house shut.
The school for deaf comes next. It was opened in 1972.
Proceeding along the fence of this school to the south, one can reach the
temple of Vira Durga. Durga by itself means viram (Valour).
