At Solaimalai Murugan Temple, Murugan is worshipped together with both his consorts, Valli and Deivanai. The shrine shares these hills with the Alagar Kovil temple of Vishnu. For devotees who honour all six abodes, an archana at the sixth is a meaningful way to complete that devotion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat this booking covers\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMurugan Archana at Solaimalai Murugan Temple, Pazhamudircholai, booked in your name\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSankalp with your name and gotra, and birth star if you share it, for up to four names\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTemple receipt or confirmation on WhatsApp after the puja\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAdd-ons for this booking\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAbhishekam\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFruit and flower offering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eChoose any of these when you book, or ask our team on WhatsApp. Each add-on is offered in your name, on dates confirmed with you.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePlease note\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe date, the number of names and whether the seva can be done without you are confirmed with you on WhatsApp before your booking is processed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo private video of the ritual is promised; photos are shared only where the temple allows them.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrasad is not sent to your address.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eMore Murugan pujas\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/kn\/products\/kattalai-puja-sponsorship-dhandayuthapani-swamy-temple-palani\"\u003eKattalai Puja Sponsorship — Dhandayuthapani Swamy Temple, Palani\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/kn\/products\/murugan-abhishekam-subramaniya-swamy-temple-tiruchendur\"\u003eMurugan Abhishekam — Subramaniya Swamy Temple, Tiruchendur\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/kn\/products\/murugan-archana-subramaniya-swamy-temple-thiruparankundram\"\u003eMurugan Archana — Subramaniya Swamy Temple, Thiruparankundram\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBefore booking\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eShare the name(s) and gotra when you book.
