Introduction and History in Brief
Subramanya Swamy Temple is a Hindu Temple dedicated to Lord Murugan located at Marungoor Village in Kanyakumari District of Tamilnadu. Marungoor, also spelt Marungur, is located near Suchindrum in Kanyakumari District. In most of the Murugan temples, Lord Murugan can be seen on peacock but here Lord Murugan can be seen on a horse.
Idai-Aattru-Mangalam is the ancient name of this place, since this place had 2 rivers flowing around. Some of the Tamil Poets of the Sangam period – like Marungoor Kizhaar Kannannar, Marungoor Baahai Chaathan Bhoodhanaar, Marungoor Pattinaththu Sendhan Kumaranaar are from this place. In ancient times Marungoor village was a place for iron and steel industry. The soil was rich in iron and it was extracted and weapons were made. Steel was exported from this area. Over the centuries, the reserves were lost. (ref: Travancore State Manual – Vol – 2 – Page 635)
This was a war bastion with huge sheds for horses, armour houses, fort. The emergency armour room is now called as Aabhaththu kaaththa Veera Nangai Temple. This is the family deity of the local chieftains (small kingdoms). The Govt seal had a peacock and roaster as symbol and has “Thirukkai Vela Sengundham Thunai” as slogan. During Navarathri times, they had special functions here and celebrated Durgashtami in the Devi temple here and all weapons were kept in puja and was taken on parade on the 10th day, along with Palli Vettai ceremony.
The last king was Sahala kalai Marthanda Varma till AD 1504. He couldn’t rule further. He kept his swords and weapons at the feet of Devi here and even now the royal function has weapons placed in display. In 1570, the hands of the Murugan statue broke off. The king tried to change the stone idol. But the God came in his dream and asked him not to replace the statue. Instead he was asked to fit the Panchaloka (alloy of 5 metals) hands.
It is believed that when Sage Agastya came down to Podhigai malai, he has installed this Murugan here.
After Indran got cleansed from the curse of Sage Gowthama at Suchindrum temple, Indra’s horse, Uchchaisiravas also wanted salvation. It asked the same with Suchindrum Lord Shiva. He directed the horse of Indran to go to Marungoor and worship the Murugan there for salvation. It came along with Sunandhan and worshiped Murugan here and got salvation. Since the horse got salvation, this place is also called Vaaji Puram.
Since Lord Murugan of this this place saved Indran from danger and hence he is called as Marungoor Thirumalai Amararpathy kaaththa Perumal Subramanya Swami.
It is believed that after doing the Artha Jaama Pooja at Suchindrum temple, Indran comes to this place, takes bath in Amaravathy Kulam here and worships Aabhaththu Kaatha Devi and Murugan here.
