At the centre of the city, is a significant temple dedicated to Lord Murugan. A modest climb of 150 steps take you to the Sri Subrahmanya Swamy Temple, surrounded by flattering views of all that''s around and wide sprawling courtyards.
The temple gathers much festivity and glitter during a 8-day festival called the Aadi Krithika festival. During this time a procession is carried out where Lord Subrahmanya Swamy and his consorts Sri Valli and Devasena are taken out on various vahanams.
