Kumara Vayalur Murugan Temple is considered as an ideal place for restoring
harmony and peace of mind among devotees. Devotees throng here for cure from
diseases, children, longevity, education, wisdom, prosperity and good farm

the tank in the temple and worship Lord Muruga for a relief. Obstacles in
marriage also disappear.
Tonsuring,
ear boring, carrying milk pots and Kavadi, observing Sashti fasting, rolling

in the temple. Shanmugarchana (praising Lord Muruga with sacred names with

purse.
