Karunellinathaswami Temple
Here moolavar Lord Murauga is named as Chokkappan and Thayar as Chokki.
Sri Karunellinathaswami Temple is situated in Thirutangal, Virudhunagar District, which was 1000-2000 years old Temple.
This is a very ancient temple which has a mention in Tamil epic “Silapathikaram”.
Arumuga Thambiran, Lord Muruga’s devotee who used to visit Palani each year for darshan of Lord Muruga. During one such annual padhayatra, he could not cross a canal on the way as he grew old. He stayed there itself and performed pujas.
When he dug the earth to make oven for cooking, he got gold coins from the ground. Arumuga Thambiran used those Gold coins to build this Karunellinathaswami temple. People celebrate Muruga of this place-Tiruthangal- as powerful and graceful as Palani Andavar in Palani.
River Arjuna was created here by Arjuna, one of the Pandava brothers.
During their exile, Pandavas stayed in Sathuragiri forests near the Western Ghats for some time. They could not see water for bathing and performing their daily pujas. At the dawn when Sun was rising, Arjuna prayed to Mother Ganga and applied an arrow on earth which split and brought forth a river. This is Arjuna River. Bathing in this holy river cleanses the devotee of all his/her sins, it is firmly believed.
The crowd is huge on New Moon, Full Moon days and Pradosha days in the temple.
Temple Timing:
The Temple is open from 6.00 a.m. to 11.00 a.m. and 4.00 p.m. to 8.00 p.m.
Praying Lord Muruga on Karthikai star days reduces the intensity of ill fates.
