Why this temple matters

The fifth of Murugan's six abodes. After his battles, Murugan came to this hill to rest in peace, and here he married Valli. It is close to both Kanchipuram and Tirumala.

The story

Murugan wooed Valli, a tribal girl of the hills, with the help of his brother Ganesha. Tiruttani is where he settled in calm after his anger had cooled, so devotees come here seeking peace of mind.
