Sri Subramania Swamy Temple, Kurukkuthurai ( Tirunelveli)

Sri Subramania Swamy Temple, Kurukkuthurai in Tirunelveli is,  one of the  popular temples,  called as Kurukkuthurai Murugan temple. This temple is on the banks of the Jeeva Nadhi Tamiraparani  river is beautifully carved out of a rock known as THIRU VURUVA MALAI. It is said that the same rock was used for carving the temple of Lord Muruga at Tiruchendur in 1653. Since this Temple is located almost inside the river path of Tamirabarani, that every year during the monsoon rainy season flood water enters the temple and almost  submerges the whole of temple. This happens almost every year. Before water entering the temple preists take Utsavar and other important idols to safer place.

We can see shrines of Shiva, Parvathi and  Vinayagar sannathis, Veerabagu, Kalabairavar, Sani bagawan and Utsavar Sannathi.The inner praharam we can see only rock carving and in one place Panch lingam with ambals on rock wall. Out side the temple we can see the bathing place is very big and full of very old pillar mandapam and steps. It is one of the very old temples in Nellai.
