One will find this Murugan temple situated at one of the most unlikely places, sandwiched between two small scale industries in the sunshine industrial estate. People visit temples for the tranquillity and the ambience it offers which helps to feel the sacredness of the omnipresent. Once you get past the temple gates, the ruthless industrial environment is history and the soothing presence of Lord Muruga will overtake you.
