Pazhamudircholai  (article courtesy of Mr. Suresh)

Situated 19km from the famous temple town of Madurai, holy hill temple of Pazhamudircholai is the Sixth among the six padai veedu. Unlike the other five of the six, this temple has no grand edifice surrounding the central shrine of worship. The temple of Muruga is situated on the Vrishabhadri hill in a beautiful surrounding. The moorthy is Muruga with the Devis Valli and Devasena on either side. Though the temple is described in ancient texts, the present structure is of recent origin.
