	General Information:

	Swayambumurthi presiding deity and the five mango holy trees were washed away by nature’s fury in the year 1957. The new temple was built then in 1969 and consecration celebrated. The temple is 1 km far from the foot hills with 500 steps. Idumban shrine is before the hill temple. Lord Muruga blesses from the sanctum sanctorum in standing posture with consorts Valli and Deivanai. Lord Vinayaka and Muruga’s army chief Veerabagu are in the front mandap. Sri Anjaneya is facing north. There is a shrine for Navagrahas the nine planets. Lord Shiva blesses in the name Sri Arunachaleswara. Till now, the origin of the spring in the temple could not be discovered. It is noteworthy that the famous Marudamalai Murugan temple is on the southern side. It is reachable through the up and down hill route.

	Greatness Of Temple:

	The spring in the hill is mentioned as Kanachunai – meaning not discoverable – in a document by a king of Mysore. It is perennial. People use to place a flower on the head of the deity seeking His approval before starting any new work.

	Temple History:

	While passing through this hill with the Sanjeevi mount, Sri Anjaneya felt thirsty. He prayed to Lord Muruga here for water. Lord punched a place here with His Vel from where water sprang up and flowed as a river. This shows that Muruga worship was n vogue even during Valmiki’s period. There are also 2 mentions about the velocity of the arrow of Rama as that of Muruga’s Vel. The word Hanu stands for Sri Anjaneya. Vavi in Tail means water resource. Hanuvavi means a water source that appeared for Hanuan-Anjaneya. In days that followed the name changed as Anuvavi. As Kumara-Muruga helped Hanuman, the hill is also praised as Hanumakumaran Malai. Malai in Tamil means hill.
