IMPORTANT PALANI HILL TEMPLE POOJA TIME
GOLDEN CHARIOT (THANGA RATHAM)
The idol of Chinnakumarar(Palani Murugan), an elegant form made of bronze, is placed on top of a golden peacock giving out a beautiful stature with its widened feathers. Now this striking combination is kept on top of the Thanga ratham or golden Chariot and is taken around the prakaram during Kirthigai days and on specific six festival days.There will not be any such procession of the Gold Chariot on Thaipoosam, Panguni Uthiram, ten days during Dasara festival, Soora Samharam and Karthikai Deepam in Palani Murugan Temple.
The lighted up golden car is absolutely enchanting. People gather just to witness the golden chariot and get the blessings of lord Murugan. Temple asthana nadaswaram, Thiruppugazh bajan group and all other people usually form part of the ceremonious Thanga Ther valam.A devotee has to pay charges if he wants to draw the golden chariot around the prakaram.
