History
Long back there was a king who belonged to the Pandhya dynasty. He was a staunch supporter of Lord Muruga and always prayed to him. He wished to build a temple in honor of the lord however; he was unable to get any useful piece of land. One day he was hunting in the forest of Dindigul. Being thirsty he found a spring at one place and drank water from it. After consuming the water, the king fell asleep. A strange dream came to him where the Lord Murugan instructed him to build a temple on the very spot where he was lying. As soon as he got up he decided to build a temple which is today known as Tirumalaikeni Subramanya Swamy Murugan Temple. Lord Murugan is the presiding deity and the entire temple is dedicated to him.

Facts/Mythology
A unique fact about this temple is that it is two -tier in nature. One temple is located atop the hill while the other one lies on the ground level. The idol which resides in the main temple cannot be removed by any power and hence for the purpose of renovation a new idol had to be developed which became the basis of these two temples. Further, the architecture and construction of the two temples is such that while performing pooja, the water that falls on the idol of the upper temple reaches the idol of the lower temple too. This speaks of the amazing engineering feats in those times.
