History of Chennimalai Once there was a fight between Adhi Sesha and Vayu Deva to prove their strength. When Adhi Sesha caught hold of maha meru(Big hill), Vayu Deva blew strongly and the head of Adhi Sesha flew and fell down at Poondurai town. The peak of Mahameru is known as Sira giri, Sigara giri, Putpa giri, Chenniyangiri or Chennimalai(The head of hills). Chennimalai is famous for “THERRTHAM, STHALAM AND MOORTHY ”. History of Chennimalai God Hundreds of years ago there lived a Land lord on the bank of River Noyyal about 3km away from west of Chennimalai. He had many cows in his farm. One day the Land Lord came to know from his servant that one of his cows has no milk in its udder. But the Land Lord noticed that the same cow discharged its milk in a particular spot every evening. On the very next day he consulted this matter with his village people. They decided to dig the spot where the cow flows its milk everyday. During his digging they found a beautiful Statue of Lord Muruga. On seeing the beautiful image of God they ecstasies. They found that the face of the Statue was cared highly charming than the body. To smoothen the body of the image they summoned a sculptor. When the sculptor began his work with his chisel the image of god was bleeded. On seeing that the people of the village shocked and they thought that God was unwilling to change his image. So they consecrated the image of Lord Muruga on the Chennimalai hill. Even today we can see the image in the same manner. One among the Siddhas named Pinnakku Siddha made penance and worshipped Lord Muruga in this place. We can see the cave where Pinnakku Siddha had performed his penance and got Dharshan of Lord Muruga. The strange thing of this place is that curd is not become sour.
