Thandikudi


Thandikudi
Sri Balamurugan Temple, Thandikudi, Dindigul
According to one story, Lord Muruga went to Palani only from Thandikudi.  It is therefore believed that Palani darshan would be complete, if the devotee begins his pilgrimage from here.  It is also believed that Lord Muruga jumped from here to Palani.

A deep foot print considered as that of Lord Muruga is seen on a stone nearby the temple as if pressed on sand. Another rock nearby, looks as if a peacock is holding a snake in its mouth. These are still visible even today. There is also a sand space at a higher level about 75 feet from the temple. This sand is offered as Prasad - sacred ash to the devotee.
