Kanda Sashti 2025 | Day 3 | Pazhani | Kaliyuga varadan

Описание: Perched atop a serene hillock in the Palani Hills of Tamil Nadu’s Dindigul district, Pazhani is revered as the third among Lord Murugan’s six sacred abodes. It symbolizes Murugan's renunciation after a dispute with his brother Ganesha over a divine fruit (Gnana-pazham), leading him to become an ascetic on this hill.
When Sage Narada gifted Shiva the Gnana-pazham, he set a contest between his sons - whoever circled the world first, would win it. Accepting the challenge, Murugan immediately set off on his peacock to traverse the world, while Ganesha, realizing that his parents (Shiva and Shakti) embodied the universe itself, simply circled them in reverence and claimed the prize. Knowing this, Murugan was furious as he felt cheated and chose to live a life as a hermit in Pazhani hills. His parents followed to pacify him, lovingly declaring, “Pazham Nee” (“You are the fruit”), a phrase that gave rise to the name Pazhani.
The presiding deity, Dhandayudhapani Swami, is depicted as a youthful hermit, who has renounced all worldly pomp. He is seen with just a loincloth, holding a staff (Dhanda) as his weapon (Ayudha). The idol, consecrated by Sage Bogar, is uniquely crafted from a sacred amalgam of nine minerals known as Navapashanam, believed to possess immense spiritual and medicinal properties.
