Day 3: Palani Murugan Temple

Proceed to Palani, one of the most famous Murugan temples in India. Situated atop the Palani Hills, this temple draws thousands of devotees daily. Known for its powerful idol made of navapashanam (a unique herbal blend), the temple represents Lord Murugan in his renounced form and is a center for deep spiritual experience and healing.

Day 4: Thiruchendur Murugan Temple

Travel to the coastal town of Thiruchendur to visit the majestic seaside Murugan Temple. This is where Lord Murugan is said to have defeated the demon Soorapadman in battle. Set against the backdrop of the Bay of Bengal, this temple is unique among the six abodes as it is situated by the sea and not atop a hill. It is also renowned for its powerful rituals and coastal serenity.

According to legend, it was here that Lord Murugan taught the meaning of the sacred Pranava Mantra (Om) to his father, Lord Shiva.
