The presiding deity of the temple is Lord Murugan, who is worshipped with great reverence by devotees. Lord Murugan is considered the Hindu god of war, valor, and victory. He is depicted as a youthful deity, often riding a peacock and wielding a spear or Vel.
Lord Murugan holds significant importance in Hindu mythology and is revered as the son of Lord Shiva and Parvati.
Festivals
The Temple has a number of festivals. The important ones are :
Skanda Shashti
During Skanda Shashti, a special festival dedicated to Lord Murugan, temples often conduct various rituals and ceremonies to honor the deity. This includes special poojas, Abhishekam (ritual bathing of the deity), and Annadanam (charitable food distribution). Devotees participate in these rituals with fervor, seeking the blessings of Lord Murugan for protection, prosperity, and spiritual well-being. Annadanam, in particular, holds significance as it symbolizes the act of giving and sharing, a virtue highly valued in Hinduism, where devotees offer food to others as a form of charity and devotion to the deity.
Vijayadashami
Vijayadashami, also known as Dussehra, is a significant Hindu festival celebrated on the tenth day of the Navaratri festival. On this auspicious day, devotees offer Pongala to the deity as a form of worship and gratitude. Pongala is a special offering made primarily by women, where they cook rice, jaggery, coconut, and other ingredients in earthen pots as an offering to the goddess. This ritual is performed with great devotion and is believed to bring blessings, prosperity, and fulfillment of wishes.
