Sri Subramania Swamy Temple, Kurukkuthurai

Kurukkuthurai temple is situated on the banks of Thamirabarani river. Its speciality is that you can directly drive your two wheeler or car on to the banks of the river inside the city of Tirunelveli. During heavy rains, the temple gets submerged in water. The stone mandapam is always partially submerged in water. Children can safely take bath inside the small water channels which flow through the stone pillars. This temple is dedicated to Lord Muruga. The water quality is poor due to contamination. Hopefully it will improve after the Thamirabarani Pushkaram, a special worship and celebration to the 12 sacred rivers of India, which happens once in 144 years. It will be celebrated on September 11–22, 2018. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to realise the great role these rivers have been playing in the development of human civilizations over thousands of years and to respect them so that we can preserve their cleanliness and water flow for many more generations to come. 🙏

Dedicated to Lord Murugan. Situated middle of the river Thamirabharani. The beautiful idol of Sri Murugan is as that of Thiruchendur. Another peculiarity is the same Rock Stone was used to carve the famous Thiruchendur Murugan. Can reach the temple from Sri Nellaiappar temple, Tirunelveli at about 2-3 Kms distance. Must visit place for its location, beauty. We will get a fresh and positive energy when for the darshan. Parking is bit difficult. Flowers are not available. Very old temple.

This is a famous temple of God Murugan in thamirabarani river, yes not in the bank of thamirabarani river but inside thamirabarani river. When lot of water flows through the river this temple will be submerged in the water. One can drive car till the temple (inside the river) and it has nice steps arrangement for safe bath in thamirabarani river.

An ancient Murugan temple on the Thamirabarani River in Tirunelveli. Rock cut Murugan and his consorts, Valli and Deivanai is presiding deity here. It is believed that image of Thiruchendur Murugan was carved out of a rock here. Rocks found in this area are suitable for making images. Hence, this place is called Thiruvurumamalai.
