History & tradition
Kumarakottam Temple, also called the Subramaniya Swami temple, is on Raja Street in Kanchipuram, Tamil Nadu, and is dedicated to Murugan. The temple is ancient, and was rebuilt in its present form in 1915. It is one of the major temples of Kanchipuram and an important pilgrimage centre; it is often described as forming a group with the Ekambareswarar and Kamakshi Amman temples, though each has its own tradition of worship. The saint Arunagirinathar sang hymns in praise of the Murugan of this shrine.
