Founders and History

The temple was founded in 1970 by the revered Milagai Siddhargal – Srila Sri Nagaraja Swamigal and Srimathi Thilagavathy Ammaiyar. Their vision was to create a spiritually charged center dedicated to Lord Murugan and the energies of Sakthi, providing a space where devotees could connect deeply with divinity through Murugan worship and Siddhar tradition.

Their legacy continues to inspire spiritual seekers, and the temple remains a center for Murugan bhakti, meditation, and traditional worship practices.
