Arunagirinatha obtained darshan of the divine lotus feet of Lord Muruga here. The Lord here presents Himself as Gurunatha Who taught the essence of Pranava to His Father, Siva (‘Swami’) and thus became Swaminatha. Popularly known as Swamimalai, it is located at a distance 8 km from Kumbakonam in Tanjore District on the northern banks of the river Cauvery. It is believed that sage Agasthya did penance at Tiruvavinankudi and learned the five grammars of Tamil language under Lord Muruga’s expert tutelage. While Sri Dandayudhapani blesses devotees from the hill top, there is a more ancient Muruga temple at the foot of the hill, which is called Tiruvavinankudi. Pazhani is at a distance of about 60 km from Dindigul in western Tamil Nadu. The other names of Pazhani are Sivagiri and Sivamalai. The famous hymn Sri Subramanya Bhujangam and Kandar Kali Venpa were composed at this sacred spot. Jagadguru Adi Sanakara (8th century) visited the Tiruchendur temple and offered prayers.

Though the temple is in close proximity to sea, if one goes into the interior of the sanctum sanctorum, one is surprised to find a hillock there! Is not the Lord Senthil Andvar also the one Who ever loves to reside at hill tops? We do not find the usual ‘Vel’ in the deity’s hand at this temple, since He is depicted as one offering puja to Siva in recompense for taking so many lives in battle. The Lord’s heroic fight with Soora is enacted with religious fervor here during the annual Skanda Sashti festival shortly after Deepavali (October-November), which draws half a million devotees on the sixth day alone. Muruga vanquished the demonic forces led by Soorapadma at Tiruchendur. From Tirunelveli in the South India, one has to travel a distance of about 60 km to reach this beautiful sea resort. The Subramanya shrine at Tiruchendur is situated by the seashore. It is a joy to see fish leaping in the tank and rushing to accept puffed rice ( Pori) offered to them! There is a sacred tank known as Saravana Poygai in the temple precincts. Tiru Jñana Sambhandar and Sundaramurti Swamigal, two of the Saiva Samaya quartet visited Tiruparamkundram. This holy place is associated with the divine marriage of Muruga with Tevayanai. Tirupparamkundran is at a distance of eight kilometers from Madurai in South India. Muruga abundantly blesses devotees who worship at these holy places. Kundruthoraadal (Tiruttani and several other hills) and.Coming to the six holy abodes of Muruga as declared by the Tamil poet Nakeerar in his late Sangam period classic of Murugan devotion these are:
