This is a famous Lord Muruga temple situated at the Kerala-Tamilnadu
border. Gruel offered in the temple is
considered as an effective cure for many diseases. It is also believed that this was the place
where Valli played with Her friends while taking care of the Thinai – a crop –
fields and the region ruled by Nambirajan, the adopted father of Valli. People also believe the place was the one
where Lord Muruga stood as the Vengai tree for Valli. This is a very ancient temple. Presiding Lord is on the southeast side with
Mother Valli. The idol is 10 feet tall. The ears of the presiding Lord being long, it
is believed that the structure belongs to Buddhist period. The stone too is of a very hard type.
