There are 60 steps to reach the hill temple representing the 60 Tamil Years. This is the place where Murugan resided after his feud with his family over a divine fruit.ĥ kms away from Kumbakonam, the temple is built on an artificial hill. Great Tamil poet Avvaiyar, known not only for her poetic excellence but also for wisdom, called Murugan "Pazham Nee" so the place came to be known as Pazhani. Here, the main deity is made out of Navabashanam and was created and established by Siddhar Bhogar. The hill top temple has 690 steps where "Dhandayuthapani" is the main deity, in a meditating state, carrying a staff ('danda') as weapon ('ayutha') in his hands ('pani'). The legend is that this lord was worshipped by Goddess Lakshmi ('Thiru' in Tamil), the sacred cow Kamadhenu ('Aa' in Tamil), the sun God Suryan ('Inan' in Tamil), the earth goddess ('ku' in Tamil), and the fire god Agni ('Di' in Tamil), hence the place called "Thiruaavinankudi".
Palani also has the scriptural name as Pothigai. Pazhani (Palani) is situated in Dindigul District, on the Palani hill bottom (Malai Adivaram) called Thiruaavinankudi, where the temple deity is known as "Kuzhanthai Velayuthaswami".
The temple commemorates the event, "Soorasamharam" in a grand manner every year.ģ. Hence, Thiruchendur is the only place where Lord Murugan with his army stayed, when he went to destroy Demon Soorapadman. Where the Head (Commander-in-chief) goes for battle and stays with his army is called "Padai Veedu". Out of the Six Padai Veedu of Lord Murugan, Thiruchendur alone is situated in the seashore and the rest are all situated in hills. The Lord is praised by Saints Nakkeerar and Arunagirinathar.Ģ. Of the 6 Padai Veedu temples, this is the only temple where abishekam is performed for Vel instead of Lord Murugan.
This is the first of the Arupadaiveedu (armory house). Located on the outskirts of Madurai on a hillock where Lord Murugan married Indran's daughter Deivanai.
