This clearly made him the winner and Shiva awarded the fruit to him. Ganesha in turn said to Shiva that for him the entire world is his parents and he would circumambulate them. Muruga accepts the challenge and quickly mounts his vahana, the peacock, to begin his journey around the world. Shiva decided to hold a competition amongst his two sons, Ganesha and Muruga, and the fruit would be given to the first one to arrive after circling the world. The idol of Muruga here is made of a mixture of nine poisonous substances which also worked as medicines when mixed at a certain ratio by a saint named Bhogar.Īccording to legends, Sage Narada visited Lord Shiva in his abode and presented him a fruit which was considered as the fruit of knowledge.
Located in the Dindigul district, the temple was built in the 9th century by the Chera king Cheraman Perumal.
The Palani Murugan Temple is known as Dhandayuthapani Swamy Temple, since the lord here is worshipped as Dhandayuthapani or the the one who is holding a staff in his hand.
