Arulmigu Vel Murugan Temple




Arulmigu Vel Murugan Temple is situated at the top of Natchathra Kundru (Star Hill) at the southern banks of the Kamandala Naga River in Thiruvannamalai District of Tamil Nadu. The lance (Vel) of Lord Muruga is worshipped here instead of idols. Tradition recounts that Bhogar (one of the eighteen siddhars) came to this place and consecrated the lance.

Visitors can enjoy the magnificent glimpses of the sunset and expanses of green from the top of the hill. Polur Railway Station is the nearest major access point. Chennai International Airport is the nearest airport.
