Now you
must have to walk further 3 Km. to reach another important temple going by the
name of Town Temple, dedicated to Mother Perianayaki, the local name for
Parvathimata, the august goddess of that illustrious son Muruga. The temple is
quite big and built in the south Indian architectural pattern. There are many
mini shrines for high saivate gods, like Muthukumaraswamy, Nataraja, Vinayaka
etc.
The Mother's temple is on the southern side of the Murugan, and the
Kailasanatha temple is on the northern side. Close observation reveals that it
was originally built for Muruga, and later the Mother's shrine and Kailasanatha
Shrine were added.
