Here in this temple unique feature is, we see to the inner
side of compound wall, 27 Boodha Gana Vedalam with their hands lifted up, representing
27 Nakshtram worshiping Lord Murugan.
Here special pooja is performed on day of Ashtami Thithi which
comes after full-moon day. This day is considered important for Bairavar
worship. Bairavar is the only person who can control Vedalam
There is a belief among people residing in that region, by worshipping
Lord Bairavar on Ashtami Thithi; their wishes are conveyed by Lord Bairavar to Lord
Arumugan. There wishes are fulfilled by Lord Arumugan.

temple.
Arunagiri Nadhar sang Thirupugazh on Lord Murugan.
