Sankari Samedha Aadi Skandanadha Swamy Temple Story

When the asuras disturbed the penance of the sages, they prayed to Lord Shiva . Then Shiva called Kandan and asked him to guard the sages and also gave him an astra and blessed him to set up a place where it would be offered. The place where Muruga’s astra fell on the earth is called Erakam.

The Lord Muruga to guard the sages and Devargal (Gods) came down to this world in a peacock vehicle, worshiped Lord Shiva and prayed for Pasupadastra and got the vel (divine javelin) from Sikkal by Lord Ammai and performed samkara in Tiruchendur and returned to Erakam. On their return, the Devas were delighted and wore with golden Crown. Therefore here, Lord Muruga is blessing Ponmudi appearance for devotees. Then the incident of preaching took place here. Lord Shiva, got the name Kanda Natha Swami because he received upadesha from Kandan. Kandan was also known as Swaminathan because he preached to Swami. Ammai was also known as Sankara Nayaki because she received instruction (upadesha) from Sankaran.

This temple was built by King Vikrama Chola. Hence this town is called Mummudich Chola Mangalam and Kumarapuram. It is believed that by worshiping Lord Muruga here with love, everything in life will be fulfilled without any hindrance.
