Tiruchendur: is the second temple or House located on the Sea shore. The Muruga broke the Krouncha mountain into two pieces and killed Tarakasura and seettled at senthil with his consort Deivayanai. Arumuga reached Viramahendrapuram and defeated the forces of Surapadman and hence got the name as 'kandan'. He blesses his devotees with his calm posture. We are told that Kumaragurupara swamy who was dumb got his power of speach with the grace of kumara and composed the script called 'Subramania Bujangam'. 'The Tiruchendur Agaval' also sings the praise of this deity and a devotee will be blessed with a long life and can wash off his sins by praying to Senthil Andava.
Palani:(Palaniyampathi) : In this third abode, Kumara has the appearance as, Dhandayuthapani. It is here that the Lord destroyed Idumbasura and gave him two boons as desired by him. By one boon, he became the sentry to the Lord's temple there and the other is to show affection and kindness to the devotees who carry the kavadi to this temple to fulfil their commitments to the Deity. Palani also connotes in Tamil that he is the 'Gnana' fruit for his parents Siva and Uma Devi. At the nearby place called Thiruvavinankudi, Muruga shows his appearance as with Deivayanai. The palani temple and its greatness is praised in thescriptures loke 'pillai tamil' 'Kovai Maalai'. 'Andhadhi'and in the various slokas and songs of the poets and saints.
Tiruveragam (swamimalai) : is the fourth abode in the group and Muruga appears here as 'Swaminatha'. As the name connotes, this is a very pleasant and attractive location and it is here, Kumara preached the cocept of 'Pranava' to Lord Siva and Siva exclaimed to his dear child "you are my Swami - preceptor"
