Kuzhanthai Velappar temple, Hindu temple in Poombarai, Tamil Nadu, India.
The Kuzhanthai Velappar Temple features traditional Dravidian architecture with detailed stone carvings depicting mythological stories across its walls and pillars.
The temple establishment dates back several centuries when the worship of Lord Murugan, son of Shiva and Parvati, gained prominence in Tamil Nadu.
During the festivals of Thaipusam and Panguni Uthiram, the temple hosts ceremonies where devotees participate in rituals and make offerings to Lord Murugan.
The temple maintains regular hours for worship services, with extended timing during festivals, and provides basic facilities for visiting pilgrims.
The temple grounds connect to the Kurinji flower, which blooms once every twelve years in the surrounding hills of Kodaikanal.
