In some sthalams, you will find a primary deity. Other deities will be in Aroopa form i.e without
shrines. In case you pray the presiding deity, the other deities also bless you, as a surprise package
If there is a sthalam on a hill, it is considered to be more powerful, than a temple on land. Reasons are
plenti-fold, presence of siddhars doing tapas being one of them. To mention another, how much ever
you suffer with your body to reach the top, so much of proportionate karma will be reduced in your
overhanging deficit account
In case you have both together, just imagine, how much good should it do !!!
For people who are interested in praying Almighty in Vishnu roopam, stands Aappoor Malai, called as
Malai Koil by localites, near SingaPerumal koil, Chennai, to give a host of benefits.

Appur | Heritage of Aeons !

Adivaram and steps to go up !

Mahaguru Agasthiyar Nadi:
Mahaguru Agasthiyar Nadi, has spoken on length about the specialties of this temple:
1) God stands in Vishnu roopam here, and Lakshmi is Aroopam. She is doing penance in this hill.
2) For people who have not got timely marriage, visit this temple on fridays, whenever possible. Pray
sincerely, and feed around 50 60 monkeys there with ample food.
3) In case you are married, and separated from spouse, or, you are not blessed with a child, do visit this
temple, do as in 2) above.
4) For achieving worldly desires, in short, if you are longing for blessings of Venus / Sukra, visit this
temple.
5) There are 64 sidhars, still doing tapas in the hills, in aroopa form. To quote Agasthya, Aappoor is a
Siddha bhoomi, Jeeva bhoomi
6) This is a forest of herbs, Mooligai Vanam. The air itself cures diseases, simply when you
breath.There are hell lot of plants. Last time when I went, there was a siddha doctor coming down with
his girl, and he was showing lot of plants as different herbs!
7) Even today, if you visit this shrine on full moon day, and pray sincerely, you can get darshan of
siddhars, in form of light.
Legend :
In earlier days, there were many Rishis and Munis, who were doing Tapas on Lord Vishnu. Happy
with their Tapas, he gave them darshan of his Thirumana Kolam i.e. Marriage darshan with his
consort Goddess Lakshmi. Hence he came to be known as Shri Nithya Kalyana Prasanna
Venkatesa Perumal. Goddess Lakshmi is present in Aroopa form.
Temple:

In the adivaram, below a Neem tree, 7 stones, corresponding to Saptha kannis are present. Duly

In the adivaram, below a Neem tree, 7 stones, corresponding to Saptha kannis are present. Duly
worship them before climbing up. Skandha Guru kavasam tells to worship saptha kannis before
climbing the skandha giri.
Kannimar devigalai Kannimar odaiyile
Kandu vazhipattu kantha giri yeriduveer !!!
Lot of hill temples have Saptha Kannis in the adivaram, for us to pray and scale the mountain. Belief is
that, they will protect us, in the mountain trip.
After that, it is a 480 steps ascent in the hill.

These are different views in the steps. Some easy to climb, some steep. Its easy if you climb within 9
9.30 am, still you will have shadows and cool breeze. After that its scorching heat and very difficult to
climb. (Personal Experience, first time I went around 10.30 and second time around 9!). The cool breeze

and the herbs smell in air are really refreshing. I did take many frequent, unnecessary breaks, to fill
myself with the herbal air.
Once you have climbed 480 steps, you stand here. These are un-cut and un-shaped rocks, just to
remind you of the past. And there is the entrance to the temple.

Last 20 steps and Entrance to temple !

Shri Nithya Kalyana Perumal:
Godbeauty in full form. Once you climb in the steps and see Him, trust me, you will not feel like
asking a boon from Him. He is so beautiful in looking. Specialty is, in this temple, since there is no
Thaayar, Perumal adorns a saree.
