A major spiritual gathering is underway in Madurai as the Hindu Munnani inaugurated a special exhibition of Murugan’s Arupadaiveedu (six sacred abodes) ahead of the Muruga Bhaktas’ Conference/Murugan Devotees Conference scheduled for 22 June 2025 near Pandikovil. The event saw participation from prominent figures including Puducherry Home Minister Namachivayam and Hindu Munnani State President Kadeswara Subramaniam.
The exhibition features meticulously crafted replicas of all six Murugan temples, complete with their moolasthanam (sanctum sanctorum) and frontal structures. Devotees can offer prayers to the sacred vel (divine spear) placed at each replica, while detailed displays highlight the unique spiritual significance of every shrine – from Palani’s Rajaa Alankaram to Tiruchendur’s Vel.
The June 22 conference will feature cultural performances and spiritual discourses, culminating in a massive gathering where lakhs of devotees are expected to collectively chant the Kanda Sashti Kavasam at 6 PM. Organizers emphasize this as the event’s spiritual highlight.
The exhibition offers devotees, especially the elderly, a rare opportunity to experience all six sacred sites in one location – a pilgrimage that would normally require extensive travel across Tamil Nadu. Many attendees expressed gratitude for this innovative approach to devotion.
The conference continues tomorrow with spiritual discourses and cultural programs, expected to draw thousands of Murugan devotees from across South India.
