Many Hindus believe that the presiding deity of this Kali yuga is Lord Muruga (Kali Yuga Varadan). Murugan is a popular Hindu deity among Tamil Hindus, and is worshiped primarily by South Indians in India. He is not quite so well-known in other parts of India. Like most Indian deities, He is known by many other names, including Kartikeya ( son of Krittika), Arumugam (one with six faces), Kumaran, Shanmukha, Skanda, Swaminatha and Subramanian. The poet Nakeerar of the Sangam Age sang many songs in praise of the Lord, among them the well known composition "Tirumurugartrupadai" which describes the six most important abodes of Lord Muruga (Aarupadai Veedu).-
1. Tirupparunkunram
2. Tiruchendur
3. Palani
4. Swamimalai
5. Tiruttani and
6. Palamuthircholai.
For details of the abodes and his temples, see below-
