Virtual tour to Arupadaividu

Beiing a devout of Lord muruga , hindu myths and a person who is interested in visiting temples,history etc(a zillion things which I am interested )I felt to draft the significance of Lord murugan’s arupadaividu…..

1.Pazhani
2.Thiruthani
3.Thiruparamkundram
4.Pazhamudirsolai
5.Swami malai
6.Thiruchendur

1.Pazhani:

We very well know about the mango fruit and the competition bt Muruga and Vinayaka…After loosing the competition Muruga went to pazhani malai…The rupa in this temple is “Andi kolam”….Pazhani Thangaratham is famous..Adi krithikai,Surasamharam etc are very well celebrated here…Beware the temple is crowded on these D days…Pazhani is a 3 hrs journey from Karur…a must visit Arupadaividu

2.Thiruthani:

If u r travelling to Thirupathi plz do pay a visit to Thiruthani ,itz actually an en route to Thirupathi..Whatz special about this temple…
The rupa here is “Kalyana kolam” with Deivayanai(The daughter of Indra,actually Deivayanai was the daughter of Vishnu,but due to the desire of Deivayanai to marry lord Muruga she was adopted by Indra)…Indra offered Airavadam(The giant and the wealthy elephant) to Muruga as Dowry…Subsequently Indra lost most of his wealth..When Muruga decided to give back the elephant,Indra rejected and asked Muruga to make the elephant point towards east…So if u visit this temple note the direction of The elephant it would be east…East is considered to be a good direction in hindu myth..Also the chest of Lord muruga is hallow and people say Asur Tharakasuran throwed a sulam and muruga with his power broke it and offered the sulam(not sure) to Vishnu.Surasamharam festival is not celebrated here.

3.Thiruparamkundram:


Again Kalyana kolam here but with Valli….Guys and gals if u are in the verge of getting married do visit the temple and lord Muruga will shower you with good life..Actually Muruga came to this place after killing the Asur SURAPADMAN….Itz very near to Madurai…

4.Pazhamudirsolai:


Itz again very near to Madurai..So apart from visiting Meenakshi temple do visit pazhamudirsolai and thiruparamkundram…
What special about this temple????Undoubtedly only one thing should flash your mind..Itz Avvayar…Suttapazham,Sudadha pazham incident took place here and yeah the Jambu tree is still there….I guess you should be familiar with Muruga’s question to Avvayar about 1.What is hard2.What is big 3.What is sweet and 4.What is rare and the answers by Avvvayar….This incident actually happened here…

5.Swami malai:

Very near to kumbakoman….”Appanuku upadesam senja Yidam-Swami malai”…Muruga disclosed the meaning of Om karam here

1.Brahma on his visit to kailasam forgot to pray muruga,Muruga posed a simple ques to brahma “tell me the meaning of OM”,brahma failed to answer..
Lord siva came to rescue Brahma…Even shiva was not aware of the meaning,so muruga asked Siva to be disciple and agreed to reveal the meaning…So Lord Muruga is the guru to Siva in this temple…


6.Thiruchendur:


Itz near Kanyakumari……The real vadam(killing ) of Surapadman took place here….This temple is very near to Sea shore…a lovely place..a soothing temple….

Important Festivals related to Murugan:

Kanda sashti,Adi krithikaim,surasamharam are some common festivals where all the Arupadaividu’s are crowded
