The Temple road that leads to the Temple is between Melmaruvathur and Achrapakkam on the Chennai Trichy National Highway. A Welcome Arch has been erected on the GST Road leading to the Temple. The Temple has been built on a small hill. A rugged motorable road leads us to the Temple for which a vehicle has to pay Rs.50/- to the Temple authorities. There are nearly 120 footsteps leading to the Temple. Devotees who come by foot can climb the footsteps and reach the Temple premises. This is an East facing Temple and the Presiding Deity is Sri Dhandayuthapani otherwise known as Sri Murugan. He resembles the Presiding Deity of Palani Murugan Temple. The Presiding Deity is just 3 feet tall and made of Maragadha Stone. Kanchi Sri Maha Periyavar visited this place and wanted it to be named as Nadu Palani, which was earlier known locally as Perukkaranai.  The Temple was built around 40 years ago by Muthuswamy Pillai, whose Jeeva Samadhi is found on the Hilltop. Now its governed by Mysore Sri Ganapathy Sachidananda Swamy. Currently the Temple management is being done by Nadupalani Dhandayuthapani Dattatreya Trust. An Anjaneya and an Idumban Sub Shrine is found on the foot hill leading to the Temple. The Sthala Viruksham is a combination of Vembu and Arasa Maram. There is an artificial fountain in the name of Saravanapoigai. There is a Sub Shrine for Naga Dattatreya. Thai Poosam and Panguni Uthiram attract lots of Devotees. Several Banyan trees are seen around this Temple. The 40 feet Murugan Statue is a huge attraction. This Temple has a Temple Chariot which is safely kept and preserved.
