Baladandayudhapani Temple
This temple is located towards the south of Rattinasabhapati Puram (R.S.Puram) area of Sukrawarpet in Coimbatore near the Gandhi Park.
History – At the place where this temple is located, earlier there used to be a Satram (resthouse) in the name of Pillai Kani Padaitha Siru Thonda Nayanar. The resthouse was surrounded by beautiful garden with tall green trees and a well. The people first installed Lord Ganesh under a Arasa tree in the garden and started worshipping him. The Lord was known as named Sella Pillayar. In another corner of the garden, Lord Dandayadhapani was installed and worshipped. The hymns of Kandar Shasti Kavacham, Kumara Sambavam, Kandar Anubhuti, Kolaru Pathikam and Shiva Gyana Bodham are seen inscribed in the walls of the temple.
Temple – The temple entrance faces north with a small and beautiful Rajagopuram. Lord Muruga as Baladandayudhapani is seen first facing east. In the south-east corner is the shrine of Kalvi Vinayagar facing north. The utsavamurthy of the Lord along with his two escorts is seen in the prakaram. In the south-west corner of the temple, sits the original Pillayar under the Arasa tree. In the north-east, the navgrahas are seen in a circular enclosure.
Prayers – Local people have a custom of asking the permission of the Lord with flower before beginning any work.
