In many places
doli is available, but extremely expensive. To eliminate this hardship, the
benign far sighted temple authority has provided haulage winch as cheap, easy
and quick conveyance. It was as far back as in 1966, the Devasthan commissioned
a haulage winch with a capacity of 36 seats. it is hauled up over a railway line
running to a length of 290 meters, exactly from the foot of hill to the
alighting point. The travel time is only 5 minutes. It operates from 5 AM to 9
PM. As the charge is nominal, there is great craze for this service. So the
second one was put up, yet it is not meeting the ever growing demand. Plans are
now afoot for the third one. And will come up soon.
The experience is so
thrilling that none forgets it till his final exist from this world. Above all,
no other temple in Tamil Nadu, be it dedicated Vaishnavate or Saivate or
Sakteyya is providing this facility to the yatra's. Though he is Bala Murugan in
name, he is Vrudhamurugan in mind and knows, when he should extend Karuna to his
Bhaktas and draw them to his sannidhi. Is he not called Gnanapandita? This
attributes sticks to him aptly and tightly.
