This is one of the famous place in south tamilnadu and dedicated temple for Lord Vinayagar.
This is managed by Nagarathar and it is one of the 10 temples that falls in their management
Vinayakar here is unique where he comes with just two hands and stays in Yoga posture which means he blesses all from this temple
This is the tallest vinayagar in south india with close to 10 feet high and has been carved out of the a hill rock. Since this is carved out of rock, no one can do pradakshina as there is no space to do the same
This is also rich in architecture and has been built by Pandiya kingdom and we can see the architecture across the temple.There is also a siva lingam next to Vinayakar and there are scriptures in the wall which says this was build around 4th century. Based on this it is concluded that this is the oldest vinayagar temple available based on the history and scriptures.
This temple has big water tank and vinaykar chathurthi is famous in this temple which is celebrated for 10 days.
Karpaga vinayakar can be seen usually with gold kavasam or silver kavasam Only during abhisekam we can see the vinayakar without kavasam an this is very rare.
Temple opens from 6 - 1 PM and 4 - 8.30 PM. This is very close to Karaikal ( 20 Kms ) and 3 Kms ( from thirupathur ) or 80 KMs from Madurai.
I visited from Madurai which took 90 mins of bus journey to reach this place.
Arungampul is very famous and people give this as a garland to Lord Vinayagar to get his blessings. Also if there are not much rush, priests does keep the things under Lord's feet based on our requests.
