  Temple History:
     
 

Lord Muruga sought the blessings of Lord Shiva to cleanse Himself of the sin He incurred for killing demon Surapanma in Tiruchendur.  Lord Shiva advised the Son to create a spring in Keezh Velur and worship Him to accomplish the purpose.  Lord Muruga reached this place with His Nava-Nine commanders.  To begin the worship, first, Lord Muruga made a Vinayaka with turmeric (Manjal in Tamil) powder.  That place near Velur is now called Manjadi.  With the help of Maya the divine sculptor, He built a beautiful Shiva Temple with a Vimana called Pushkala Vimana.  Creating a spring with His Vel weapon on the east entrance, He bathed in the water along with His commanders and all army men.  Completing all the preliminaries, Lord Muruga began an intense penance on Lord Shiva.  Evil spirits began to spoil the Lord’s penance.  He sought the help of Mother Parvathi, who in the name of Anju Vattathu Amman – Mother covering five circles – four directions and the sky – appeared there and protected Lord Muruga and His penance.
