Maruthamalai Temple, also called Maruthamalai Murugan Temple, is a famous and revered Hindu temple in the southern Indian state of Tamil Nadu. It is situated on a peaceful hill. Profound in spiritual significance, this temple has unique architecture and a rich history. It is dedicated to Lord Murugan, the courageous God of War and Victory, who is thought to be the son of Lord Shiva and Parvati. Each year, thousands of devotees visit here.
According to folklore, Pambatti Siddhar is also called the “Snake Doctor” because of his skill at capturing snakes and using their venom for medicinal purposes. One day, Pambatti Siddhar met the sage Sattai Munivar in Marudhamalai while looking for a rare breed of snake called Naga Rathnam. It was during this encounter that he received spiritual wisdom. Pambatti Siddhar switched to worshipping Lord Murugan in Maruthamalai after realizing the meaninglessness of harming living things and pledging never to damage any life on Earth again.
Lord Murugan appeared before him with his wives Valli and Deivana, pleased with his penance, and blessed him with wisdom. Since then, followers have regarded Pambatti Siddhar as “Maruthamalai Mamani.”
