So the Murugan koil is buffeted by the shrines of his
parents. Furthermore the flag staff and Mayura, the mount of Muruga are in front
of Murugan shrine. Any way, this method of Murugan seated in the centre with
parents to his right and left is called Somaskanda Moortham. All the three
temples are lavishly adorned with filigree work of supreme artistry. The ace
sculptural craftsmanship reflecting the refined taste of the builders and the
sculptors elevate the souls.
This spacious temple besides housing the three most
adorable deities is also serving as an art gallery, since all the vahanas made
in wood, silver and iron of several shrines under the temple management are kept here. Their shapes,
sizes and superb craftsmanship offer a royal banquet to the eyes. The ivory
palanquin and silver car kept here worth a million looks.
