In Sri Tirumuraganatha Swamy tmple Praying to Lord Shiva sincerely after a dip in the Brahmma theertham assures the devotee a total cure from mental diseases, curses and sins. Devotees install Naga (snake) on the banks of the holy spring.

Performing abishek to the Lord after a dip in the Shanmuga theertham spring ensures child boon, is the belief.Devotees carry milk pots and Kavadi and perform special abisheks to the Lord to realize their prayers.

The origin of the temple is rooted in legendary antiquity. Soorapadma, the scourge of the gods with his retinue of demons, struck terror in the celestial world with his sudden depredations and campaigns.

The persecuted gods approached Lord Siva and implored him to save their lives. Lord Siva sent Lord Subramanya with a huge army headed by the valiant Veerabhahu to destroy Soorapadma and his retinue.

Lord Muruga accomplished the arduous task. But he was afflicted with the mortal sin of mass killing. In order to absolve himself he installed a Siva Linga in Thirumuruganpoondi and worshipped it. As Muruga himself adored Lord Siva, the latter assumed the appellation Thirumuruganathaswamy which means "Master of Muruga".
