Here
is a hill temple unique in construction and sacrosant in divinity. This
much-hallowed Muruga kshetra is built Nakshatraakara-star
shaped, unique in Tamilnadu, but common in certain parts of North, like
Maharashtra. Its very conception hastens the devout bhaktas for a visit.
Moreover, atop the hil` itself, there are two sannidhis for Subrahmanya; one in
the name, of Kanda Peruman an he is flanked by Valli and Devasena, and the
other for Dandayudhapani exclusively. As this sacred hi: enshrining the twin
holy sannidhis overlooks the beautiful valley adorned with the luxurious growth
of greenery bearing multi coloured fragrant flowers and eyeful scenery, it casts
enchantment on the devotees, not only during their ascent, but it lingers about
till they return to the base. Why it remains hovering in their memory recalling
another visit. As such its attraction for tourists, and gay roisteres is
infinite. The Moolavars in the twin shrine are
finely sculptured that they bend the heads of the asthikas at first sight
itself. Regular agamic worship is offered and the annual,; festivals are conducted
on a grand scale. On the way uphill, then is a Vinayakar temple and with its
shape, size and sculpture luring devotees
and they adore him soulfully.
It
lies in Sanpavarayar village of Tiruvannamalai distric', accessible by bus from
the surrounding towns like Tiruvannamalai.
