The Temple is good for darshan of Lord Muruga. The temple's housing services are maintained by Hotel Saravana Bhavan. The paintings in the temple are very good. There are various Kappu like Vibuthi Kappu, Sandhana Kappu to Lord Muruga. Every evening there is a special 'Thanga Ther' darshan and anyone can pay for it and do it.

I would like to add here that there is... More
