Tiruchendur: Tired Pilgrim
4 Tiruchendur: Tired Pilgrim

A tired pilgrim, trying to hide from the scorching sun, is waiting for the opening of the temple in Tiruchendur. Tiruchendur is one of the six Aarupadai veedu shrines of Murugan.

It has been venerated by the Tamil Sangam literature and is one of the most visited shrines in Tamil Nadu. It is located on the seashore in the southern part of the state between Tirunelveli and Kanyakumari.
