The
Temple
The
Temple has a five tiered Rajagopuram with single prakaram. Presiding Deity is
called as Bala Subramanya Swamy. A unique feature of this temple is the
Maragatha Mayil (Peacock) the carrier of Lord Muruga made of Green stone. The
Prime Deity Bala Subrahmanya is about 4.5 feet height and appears in standing
posture. Opposite him is the sanctum of Saint Arunagirinathar. It is of
significance to note that all the god-images except that of Muruga are sculpted
in emerald stone.
On the
right side of Lord Muruga is the sanctum of Annamalaiyar and Unnamulai Ambal.
Between them stand Lord Muruga and his spouse Valli hand in hand and grace us –
this is a special feature and a rare sight. There is a Shrine for Adhi Moolavar
in the praharam. He has decorated the main sanctum, before the new Vigraham has
replaced it. Shrines of Maragatha Vinayakar, Naagar, Venkatrayar, Muniswarar,
Bairavar, Suryanar, Navagrahas, can be found in this Temple.
The
Utsava moorthy of Lord Muruga is Valli Manalar and it weighs 120 Kgs. Lord
Murugan holding the hand of Valli in preparation for wedlock is only the one of
its kind. Utsava moorthy is placed in the Kalyana Mandapam. The Sthala Vriksham here is Magizha tree.
