Another
plus point the temple claims is the holy margosa tree lying at the
eastern tower, adoring as it were a well-built dais around. Its
thick foliage affords a pleasant
sight to the visitors. It is believed that the green lusturous
leaves chant the name of the Lord perpetually. The mud of the holy
pond and the ashes from the Jatayu Kundam are mixed up together and
made small globules in front of the Muthukumaraswamy Sannidhi to the
chanting of Sivapanchakshari. Thus made, they gain such potency that
they cure the incurable diseases when swallowed, says the priest and
sells them to the intending god - minded devotees. Does not mere
belief itself relieve the anguish? Are the ingredients easily
available? How about chanting before Murugan's Sannidhi? Sivalilas
permeate the whole region making it the earthly Kailas nonpariel.
It
lies 35 Km off Chidambaram Tirukkovil enjoying bus and train
facilities.
