Darshan of Dandayuthapaniswamy at 06.00 hrs

Sage Narada visited the celestial court of Shiva at Mount Kailash to present

to him a fruit, the gnana-palam (literally, the fruit of knowledge). He decided

to award it to whichever of his two sons who first encircle the world thrice.

Accepting the challenge, Murugan (Karthikeya) started his journey around

the globe on his mount peacock. However, Ganesha, who surmised that the

world was no more than his parents Shiva and Shakti combined,

circumambulated them and won the fruit. Murugan was furious and felt the

need to get matured from boyhood and hence chose to remain as a hermit in

Palani. The idol of the Muruga in Palani was created and consecrated by sage

Bogar, one of Hinduism's

eighteen great siddhaars, out of an amalgam of nine poisonous herbs or

Navapashanam.
