Lord Shanmuga Nathar graces in this Pachaimalai temple facing west as in Palani.

Lord Muruga besides being the presiding deity as Shanmuga Nathar, also graces from another shrine as Kalyana Subramaniar with His consorts Valli and Deivanai Whom devotees pray with green vastras for early marriage. During the Skanda Sashti, Thai Poosam festival the devotee crowd would be huge from all surrounding places coming with Kavadis amd milk pots-Paal Kudam. This is a ten day festival. People perform Rudrabisheka to Lord Muruga during these days seeking child boon and relief from debt burdens. They are blessed with immovable properties. Wedding festival is grandly celebrated during these days with procession in pearl palanquin. People worship Lord Shanmuganathar during these days with rose water abishek and offer green vastras for all happiness and prosperity in family.
