This is a temple of Lord Muruga, Ganesha's younger brother, called Karthikeya. A reflection of South India at North. In tamil, there is a saying, 'kundru irrukkum edam ellam Murugan irupan' - Whereever there is hill and mountain, there will be Murugan. The temple is situated on a small mount. The darshan of Lord Muruga is awesome. Down the mount,... More

I have never been good on the facts and figures of the places that we visit, which are very easily available on the net.... More

Once you climb towards the top part of the temple, and sit on the rocks - the overall experience is one of calm and peace. You can see the traffic go by below on the road and yet feel disconnected by it. It's a place to visit even if you are not too religious and want a moment of peace... More

People from southern part of India visit this place quite often to worship idols of Shiva, Meenakshi, Durga and Murugan. I have seen locals from Delhi in large numbers on Saturdays to worship Shani Bhagwan. There is a belief that by visiting on Saturdays one can get rid of bad times. Once in a fortnight Lord Shiva is worshipped on... More
