Sri Dandayudhapani Swami temple -Palani

I have been first time to palani and people can opt for rope car or can climb stairs.
We climbed the steps and on the way idumbar sannithi was there and few more godess sannithis ,so it was good and also many shops .

Finally reached the hill top and so very happy and planned to see the "Ucchikala"pooja weherein they do afternoon alangaram which we can buy tickets and see ucchikaala pooja.

Lord Muruga will be  in Raja alangaram,so very nice and still I can visualise Lord muruga.
Many people from different countries  and state came and it was a good experience.

We were waiting for the ucchikaala pooja,so we could peacefully see each sannithis,there is bhogar shrine here where few sit and meditate.

We can also buy panchamridham and viboodhi as prasadams which is famous in palani..

About Sanctum sanctorum:

1.The deity of sanctum sanctorum is made out of amalgam  of nine minerals known as navapashanam.
2.Palani is mentioned as 3rd padai veedu.
3.We could see golden gopurams,and paintings.

Why this name palani?
Lord shiva and goddess parvathi are seated at mount kailash,and lord naradha gives a fruit and both asked the same and lord shiva gave a small competition as going around the world .Whoever goes and returns back first  will get that fruit.
So ganapathi won the prize by going around his parents,and muruga came sweating on his peacock to find the fruit.
In anger ,muruga left his parents and came to thiru avinankudi at the adivaram,foot hills.
Lord shiva said you are the fruit-full of knowledge and wisdom and hence pazham-fruit,nee-you,pazhamnee and later palani.

While returning we came in steps ,and view from hilltop is so very good and could see rope car also.
very good dharshan .
