Kundrathur

Kundrathur
Sri Subramanyaswami Temple, Kundrathur, Kancheepuram district.
There are 84 steps to reach this hill temple.  The design of the sanctum sanctorum is noteworthy.  The devotee can see Lord alone if he/she is just in front of the shrine.  If the devotee looks at the shrine either from the left or right of the shrine, he/she can have darshan of the Lord either with Mother Valli or Mother Deivanai.
After conquering the demons in Tiruporur, Lord Muruga proceeded to Tiruthani in a happy mood.  He installed a Shiva Linga and performed Shiva Puja on His way with deep meditation.
This is also the birth place of Sekkizhar, the author of Peria Puranam.  There is a temple for the saint at the foot hills.  As the place has a hill (Kundru in Tamil), it is named Kundrathur.
