DHARMAPURI

Contracted this sin of killing of Brahmin (Brahmahatti), due to which his body became black gradually. He came back to this sacred temple where Goddess Satyayatakshi had presented him with the spear, and took bath in the milky pond and regained his old beautiful form. Thus the sacred place of Sikkal was further sanctified by the presence of Lord Subrahmanya who is worshipped here as Singaravelavar.

He is the presiding deity in the shrine. True to his name Lord Subrahmanya appears very beautiful here with his spear.
