THIRU AVANINKUDI
It is the
name of the place of his first stay and the presiding deity is called Kulandai
Velayudhaswamy. The temple is just a furlong off the foot of the hill and can be
reached by walk. Legends designated it as the third Aarupadai veedus of Muruga.
It is touching the tar road and on its eastern side lies the Saravana Poigai
tank. Built in the Dravidian architectural style it has all the essential parts
and many mini shrines. The plus point that this shrine proudly claims is its
garbha griha built on an elevated plinth. So the devotees avail a grand full
view of the Moolvar seated
on his mount Mayura.
