Arupadai Veedu: the complete list
The Arupadai Veedu are the six abodes of Lord Murugan, Tamil Nadu’s beloved warrior god — six hills and shores where episodes of his story unfolded, from his wedding at Thiruparankundram to his teaching of Om at Swamimalai. Completing all six is among the most cherished Tamil pilgrimages.
🏨 Planning the pilgrimage? Most travellers base themselves in Madurai — compare hotels early, festival weekends sell out. For guided visits, browse tours & day trips.
