One day her husband asked her something, and Murugammaiar, who was meditating on Lord, simply replied “Muruga”, without understanding what he asked for. She got married and came to her husband’s place and lived happily. In her in-laws place, people were not very devotional. Some centuries back there was a very religious and pious girl, who always uttered name of Lord Muruga from childhood, and was hence called “Murugammaiar”. Siruvapuri is the modern name of the place, where the battle happened. In olden days, it was known as “Kusalapuri”. Rama came with a huge army, yet was defeated by His own sons. Lakshmana was also defeated, which made Sri Rama to come to battle these two kids. As a custom, there was a fight and the kids won the battle.Shocked, Bharatha and Shatrugana, went back and brought Lakshmana, to the battle field, to tackle the small boys. Bharatha and Shatrugana, who came in search of the horse, demanded its release, which the kids didn’t accept for. The horse after roaming various places incidentally came to Valmiki’s ashram, and as fate would dictate, Lava and Kusa, without understanding the concept of yagna, tied it in the neighborhood. Traditionally, whenever the horse enters another kingdom, the native king should either fight the yagna-karta, Sri Rama in this case, or accept his supremacy. As a part of the yagna, a white horse was left free, and was allowed to roam. It was where Lava and Kusa were being brought up by the Rishi himself.Rama decided to perform “Ashwamedha Yagna”, and did it. Lord Rama had disowned Sita devi and she was living in Valmiki Maharishi’s ashram. Two distinct incidents have created importance to this place. Some information from the book “Seermigu Siruvapuri Murugan Sthala Varalaaru” before a temple round up. And there were farm-fresh vegetables available outside temple premises. For quite some time I have heard about this famous temple, and have also noticed many people talking about this place.
